Hi all.
I am trying to simulate the deposition of particles in a trapezoidal channel thas has initially "clean water". Besides the deposition of these particles i am interesting to see particles concentration profiles along the water column. In this context, i am using the lagrangian particle tracking approach implemented in cfx. I am adopting the following conditions (the most relevant)ne-way coupling, normal speed at inlet of 0.01 for the water and particles, i have specified 20000 particles at inlet and a mass flow rate of 0.0109445kg/s-1 and at the bottom i have defined the values of 0.3 and 0.6 for the perpendicular and paralell restitution coefficients respectively (i do not have experimental data for this coefficients). In what concerns the particle solver control settings i have defined the following conditions:max.tracking time=2000 and max.tracking distance=25(the channel has 8 meters of extension). However, at the end of the simulation i am receiving the following messagearticle fate diagnostics
entered domain=20000;
Exceeded time limit=19995;
Exceeded integration limit=5;

As you can see i do not have a detailed information of how many particles have left the domain, how many are collected at the walls, etc..Can anyone with more experience give me a hint on how to solve these messages of particle diagnostics and to have this detailed information?Regards
