DPM
 
According to the equations of motion for particles in DPM, I think the particles are treated as points, which means their volumes are neglected; so if I want to consider the volume and simulate particles traces with different diameters, what I should do? Thank you!

Re: DPM
 
Though the particles are tracked as points, they still experience a spherical/nonspherical drag law and so therefore the volume is not neglected.
