To add a two-dimensional fan condition to a face or a group of faces that represent a
single fan location:
-
Click the Fluid Flow dropdown menu in the ribbon of the
Simulation tab and choose Fan.
-
Select a face or a group of faces that represent a single fan location and specify as
an intake fan or an exhaust fan.
If your model contains named selections, click Advanced filters
and use Link named selections
to choose one from the list.
-
Define the pressure rise due to the fan.
In the HUD's options panel, three methods are available:
- Load a pre-defined fan curve or
specify the fan curve table
in terms of Volume flow rate versus pressure rise (static
pressure).
- Specify the fan curve table
in terms of Velocity versus pressure rise (static
pressure).
- Specify a Constant pressure rise across the fan. For an intake fan the constant
pressure rise is the total pressure and for an exhaust fan it is the static
pressure.
-
Enter the Gauge pressure, upstream of an intake fan (total
pressure) or downstream of an exhaust fan (static pressure).
