Hi Guys,

i am doing research on packings for packed columns. I have a running simulation for the single packing (see Image).Its the sprinkling of a single packing, where i am investigating the flow of water around it. For the postProcess, i want to know which cells on the surface of the packing ever got touched by the water and if possible for how long they were actually in touch with the water. It would be great if there was a way to visualize the spots on the packing where water ever ran acrros during the simulation. If possible somthing like a heat map, which visualizes this directly on the packing (probably with paraFoam). I tried some postProcess functions and could not get the information i wanted.

I am using the interFoam solver on openFoam version 8. Just to give some more information, i used snappyHexMesh to get the packing into the simulation and the boundaries for it are chosen, so no water can go through the "walls" of the packing.

Thanks a lot !!
