Hi,

this is a brief explanation of the same question.
There's also a link to an old thread here at CFD-online.

Hope it could be of help.

Regards.

and here follows a link to a thread I never solved. It's about applying fanPressureBC at outlet, but it seems it doesn't work properly...at least with OF4.x.

fanPressure BC for a suction fan, how it works?

Regards
