Hello everyone,

I am a mechanical engineering student starting to use CFD in my actual trainee job.

Here, we have some drift eliminators what we would like to analyze some aspects like pressure loss, particle retention and velocity across the blade.

I just found that someone already did something really similar on YouTube, but I couldn't get more details 'bout it.

My initial questions are:

After meshing it with Salome, I planned to use pisoFoam solver considering that the fluid flow is newtonian, incompressible and turbulent. Is it right?

When meshing, I thought of inserting like 4-5 blades inside a bounding box cube and then use these faces as inlets/outlets/walls. Is it right?

Thanks in advance
