Hello,

I am looking at simulating a fireplace and I am having troubles finding a way to get the heat convection of the air going into a gas fireplace to act accordingly to real life heat. I want it to simulate a gas burner tube effecting the intake air and pushing it up along with a vent fan at the top of the flue to help pull air out of the firebox.

I tried using a volumetric and or face or plane heat source but it does not effect the air flowing inside of the fire place and does not simulate the amount of air being moved by a real flame. I'm sure someone has done this but I am out of things to google to see if anyone has done this.

Any help would be beneficial to me, thanks ahead of time.
