Residence time distribution

Explanation: Use the simpleFoam and scalarTransportFoam to simulate the flow through a square cross section T pipe and calculate RTD (Residence Time Distribution) for both inlets using a step function injection.

Objectives:

• Understanding RTD calculation using OpenFOAM
• Using multiple solver for a simulation
