Initial Conditions

oliveira1820 · December 18, 2018, 03:17

I have a doubt:

When I use preview initial conditions with a dispersed fluid with 0,8mm particle diameter for a simulation with all the models and properties the same as that one, except the particle diameter of the dispersed phase of 0,01mm, does it change the particle diameter to the new value, or assumes the one of the inittial values specification?

The purpose is to obtain convergence easily and change only the particle diameter

It will change the particle diameter to the new one. So your initial guess will adapt to the new diameter rapidly.
