I am looking for a way to simulate a perforated spiral duct. The duct is used as a supply air outlet in a ventilation system. The holes are evenly distributed around the circumference of the duct. As there are an estimated 10,000 holes, modelling in CAD is somewhat time-consuming.
And my second question: How can I integrate a known pressure loss, e.g. caused by a filter or silencer, into the model as a simple function?
Thank you very much for your help.
Using porous media simplification reduces CAD and mesh complexity, and saves computational time and expenses while still accounting for local pressure losses. Perhaps this documentation page will be helpful:
