Time between inlet and outlet

Steffen595 · March 5, 2016, 06:32

Hello,

how can I get results on how long it takes between inlet and outlet? I want to optimise some baffles, so the fluid meanders around as long as possible

particle travelling time I guess

You can use particle travelling time if you are using a particle model. You can also do this without a particle model by putting steamlines from the inlet to outlet and then colouring the streamlines by time.

nice to know.
Can make the particles to show a particle travelling time, then the global scale shows the max time.
Will try the streamlines, if I could get travellinng time from there, don't have to bother with particles
