Debug the bulk temperature output

Debug the bulk temperature output

When computing the bulk results for outlets with recirculation, the temperature given is sometime higher or lower than the maximum or minimum temperature on the surface.

In the example given, the max temperature on the plane is around 34.6°C but the bulk temperature calculated is over 36.8°C.

The average temperature is calculated at 28°C with the "zone" tool for comparison.

 

In other planes, the bulk temperature is lower than the lowest temperature on the whole domain.

 

Can the bulk flow be trusted or is it faulty as well ? The zone tool cannot be used for comparison here.
