I need help to identify an OpenFoam model more or less in line with the text to follow. Any help or suggestions is welcome.
My objective is to develop a model to check the effect of the use of a metal foam as an air filter, in the structure showed in the figure below. It is a single metalic box with input and output windows to enable the air to flow from tha bottom to the top. There is a fan in the botton windows to maintain a (small) air velocity. There is a heater that produces a certain amount of heat (Watts). The porosity (%) and specific surfave area (m2/m3) are known (** below)

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE MODEL is to verify
a) The pressure drop caused by the two filters (with or without the filters)
b) What is the inside temperature (with or without the filter) for a known velocity of the input air and the Watts dissipated in the heater ? The data is:

THE DATA
Aluminum box walls 5 mm thick: 600 (L) x 600 (W) X 800 (H) mm
Two openings near the bottom and top: 400 (W) x 200 (H) mm
HEATER is a copper bar located just in the geometrical center size of
50 (L) x 10 (W) X 400 (H) mm dissipating Q = 600Watts (q= 3E+5 W/m3)
VELOCITY OF THE AIR entering in the input horizontal = 0,25 m/s

CONDITIONS TO COMPARE in the input and output openings
condition (a) input and output windows completely open (no barriers to air )
condition (b) a metal foam plate with 20mm thickness and following charactristics

( ** ) FILTER made of metal foam plate (higher porosity = lower density)
Materiak: Nickel *** Thickness: 20mm *** Porosity: 88% ***
Density 970 kg/m3. *** Specific surface area 82 (m2/m3

The pressure drop caused by the two filters (with or without the filters) bitlife

[charcoalanchored]

The two filters' pressure drop, whether or not they are present
