Dear Foamers,
my set-up is a cooling tower. The lowest some meters of the air within this tower act as a porous medium. This porous volume has a cylinder geometry. Let's say the characteristic vertical coordinates (height above ground) are
The porous volume acts as a flow conditioner/straightener insofar as u=v=0 within this volume, only w /= 0, i.e. only vertical motion is possible. Is it possible to realize the following strategy with OpenFOAM, and if so, how?
Best regards, Marcus |
