specification in Particle Tracking

January 20, 2004, 16:45

When I do the particle tracking in CFX5.6, it allows me to specify the number of particles for tracking, but I don't have any control on the location of these seeds, could any one tell me how to do that if it's possible? Thanks.

hello cui,

You have to define faces in your model, where the origin locations of the seeds should be. You must then define these face as Inlet BC's with the required parameters.

As far as I know it's not yet possible to define point sources by X, Y, Z in the domain.
