Exporting Fluent solution results – unexpected variation

[helen.durand]

Hello!

My Fluent simulation is a three-dimensional pipe consisting of a solid and fluid phase. I have been exporting solution results, and I have found some variation from what I expect.

When I export nodal Fluent pressures in the fluid phase, I would expect that static pressure + dynamic pressure = total pressure, but the results are not exact. I have included the results for three (randomly selected) fluid nodes in the figure below.

What are you exporting? Node or cell values? I would try exporting cell values and check again.n

Hi Helen, did you ever find a solution? I am currently experiencing the same issue where total pressure does not equal static + dynamic. Thanks!
