Hello to all,

I have a doubt about this kind of simulation in fluent. This duct is the first part of the car intake system, the one which leads air from outside to the filter box. Theoretically the inlet has a much higher section due to this conical shape and the air flow should be nearly 0. I was thinking about using a pressure inlet condition and a mass flow inlet(outward normal) for the outlet. Could it be correct? Does anyone have experience with this kind of ducts?

Many thanks in advance
