Hi,

I wanted to use patchInjection model for my particle simulation. I want to know what is the initial starting position of parcels/injectors at the specified patch. It is uniformly distributed or parabolic or base on some random function.

From the file PatchInjection.H:

Code:
 //- List of cell labels corresponding to injector positions
        labelList cellOwners_;
I understood initial position of parcels/injectors is defined by cellOwners_

In file PatchInjection.C:

Code:
cellOwners_ = patch.faceCells();
This tells me position of injectors is taken at face cells.

What I am unable to interpret is if number of parcel/injectors specified are less than no. of cell centers than how the parcels/injectors position is decided on given patch?
