airflow velocity

[cherkey]

Hello,
Just need a refresher about what happens with air velocity as it enters an enclosure. I'm running an airflow analysis. Velocity at outlet seems correct, velocity at inlet seems correct, airflow streams seem correct. Velocity within the enclosure is almost zero. I know that the air disperses after it enters the enclosure, but I would think that there should be a velocity at least close to what the blower is pulling through. Wouldn't that seem correct?
TIA

Velocity (average) = volumetric flow rate / cross sectional area.

Hello,
Thanks for replies. Yes, I've used that formula before and it is what I would expect to see. Now that link, very nice little applet. It explains what I'm seeing. Thanks again to both...

Could you possibly be under the flowrate capabilities of your velocity measuring device?
