Hi,
I have question about Particle Tracking Model.

In steady state.
Assuming that we have information about particle diameter, particle material density and particle mass flow rate, we can evaluate number of real particles flowing into the domain per unit of time. So, if we provide number of representative particles (Number of Positions) and we divide number of real particles by number of representative particles, we can evaluate how many real particles each representative particle reprasents. Dimension of these value is [1/unit of time], am I right?

But, in documentation it is written: "For steady state simulations, the Number of Positions parameter sets the total number of particles to be injected". So, it is a finite value? There is no constant number of particles flowing per unit of time?

Thanks for answers,
Batis
