Hi everyone,

I am trying to model a gate opening, and I need to seal the gap between the channel wall and the gate hinge. I found this video on youtube. The guy says that he seals the zone by defining it as a porous zone with zero permeability by using a udf. Does anyone know how to write such a udf?

I attached the zone that needs to be sealed.
