Hi, i need to model a porous radiator for a FSAE car in OpenFOAM, what boundary and volume conditions should i use on the radiator block and domains?
Meshing with Pointwise I don't care about heat exchange, only about air speed since i'm working on the aerodynamics |

You want to use the faceSet BC type for porous boundaries between volumes. The faceSet BCs are not inflated when the grid is exported from Pointwise. Instead, all the tri/quad faces in the BC patch are included in a faceset.
I am not sure which VC type is appropriate. |
