Hi.
I'm both New to OpenFOAM and this Forum.
I am trying to create a simple Simulation of Air Flow in a Road Tunnel, Controller by several Fans mounted at the ceiling.
For the First step, i will try to reduce the Problem to 1D- a channel, only 1x1 unit, but very long (>100 units).
The channel is then separates to two ore more sections by a Fan.
And i have no idea how to declare the Fan. All tutorials i found try to simulate the Flow Inside the Fan, but thats of no interest to my Problem...
Im thankful for all kind if Informations!

Regards,
Hans
