Hello,
why are some particles leaving the domain (see image) Cheers, Steffen |

I have no idea. If you explain what you are doing we might have some idea of how to help you.
Please post your CCL and a image of your geometry. |

I just want to simulate the particle travelling time. Seems some times they dont interact with the geometry, sometimes they do

sorry, I don't open *.zip files from random people from the internet
Did you set the boundary conditions correctly to that surface at the bottom? Please paste your ccl in an [CODE]-Environment |

the other bit would have been the step file

Your simulation time step is 3s and you have no limit to the particle tracking time step. Have you tried reducing either of these numbers?

And do you have a reason why you have set 20 as the 'Maximum Number of Coefficient Loops'? That seems quite high to me. Suggested is usually 3-5. Sometimes you need 10.

I guess its the time step, if thats a snapshot in time, the particles will not find the wall. Just wanted to reduce computing time and file size.

If you set the time step size to keep the file size to a minimum then you are completely on the wrong track.
Time step size must be set from the results of a sensitivity analysis where you determine what time step size you need. Likewise convergence tolerance and mesh resolution. Otherwise the result you get are rubbish. And the computing time and file size gets to whatever size it needs to, and you just need to make sure you have a computing system big enough to handle it. |
