Hi everyone,


I am beginner at using CFDs but recently I've been experimenting with the software. I am currently trying to simulate the flow of particulate matter through a pipe using a fan to propel the particulates. Do I need to use the Fan or Intake fan boundary condition?


Thankyou for your help,


Su

The Fan BC is not that spectacular, it's just like a combination of a pressure inlet and velocity inlet.
