I'd like to ask:
I have air flow in duct through heat exchanger which is randomly oriented. Is it possible to force flow direction in region to simulate heat exchanger without modeling his detail geometry? |

you can force the air to go in one direction by specifying the porous coefficients appropriately. Use actual value in the flow direction and about 100-1000 times larger value in the other directions.
