Count leaving particles through an outlet (with particle tracking method in CFX)

dygysl · October 23, 2014, 11:26

Hi,

I’m simulating a problem (transient simulation) with particle tracking method in Ansys CFX 15. The air is entering with water particles through the inlet at constant velocity to a box which has an outlet too. So i could count how many water droplets (and also how much water volume) are collecting on the bottom and on the wall of box.

But I would like to know how many water particle (or how much water volume) leaving through the outlet. I read the whole tutorials about that but couldn`t find anything.

Is there any suggestion to solve that? Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Duygu

send this CEL expression to a monitor point:
massFlowInt(vf.water)@Outlet

Run the simulation and export the monitor point data to a file.
