Dear all,

I want to solve a problem in Fluent regarding injection of droplets from a surface. In my injection surface I have about 100 cells and it seems that when I start simulation it only inject 100 particles (equal to number of surface cell).
Does anyone know how can I increase the number of particles?
I think there should be something in Define>Injections> set> File
But I don't know how should I write the File for injection.

I would be glad if anyone can solve the problem.

Cheers,
Pejman

You can save this file as TXT or inj file.
It should be worked

Dear Zhang,

Thanks for your help. As I got the impression it will produce an injection point. Do u have any idea how can I make the same file for surface injection.
My surface is something like this:
x=1, 4<y<5, z=0

Thanks

each line is on particle, that information contains x y z position, uvw velocity, density,. diameter, ......
you can edit how many particles you want, just organize them(differnt position) together line by line.
