If I'm not wrong I remember providing pressure jump based on axial velocity and in addition tangential and radial velocity component. I'm currently working on modelling the fan in server and analyses via OpenFOAM. I found this BC fanpressure to be equivalent to fan boundary conditon. I need to input the fan curve data and provide BC fanPressure for pressure and pressureInletOutletVelocity for velocity. In this case, mass flow rate is calculated by pressure but I need to fix the volume flow rate/mass flow rate in the fans for server. Can anyone provide me an idea how to do it?
