UDF for deleting particles in DPM
Hi all,
I am trying to solve the motion of particles in bubbles. The particles along with air are injected from an inlet into water. Therefore the air, which includes the particles, generates the bubble and the particles are trapped in the bubble. For the bubble motion I used VOF and for the particle motion DPM model. Now for the last step of my project I have to delete the particles in the bubble as soon as they impact the bubble surface... I wanna do this with UDF... The idea for this UDF is that I want to delete the particles as soon as the particles are in a cell with f>=0.5 This is the UDF I am using: #include "udf.h" #define REMOVE_PARTICLES TRUE DEFINE_DPM_OUTPUT(discrete_phase_counter,header,fp ,p,t,plane) { cell_t c; Thread *t; #if REMOVE_PARTICLES /*This if loop removes the particles*/ if(C_VOF(c,t)<=0.5) p->stream_index=-1; #endif #endif } I can compile this UDF in Fluent, however, it does not remove the particles... Since I have been working with self developed codes in FORTRAN and I am not an expert in writing UDFs, would you please let me know how I should change this UDF to delete the particles in cells with VOF fractions greater than 0.5. It should be mentioned that in VOF model in liquid f=1 and in air f=0. With Regards, Iman. |

Did you solve your problem? I have the same problem with you .In my oponion, "#include `dpm.h`" shuold be included in the head file, but my UDF like this and it does not work: # include "udf.h" # include "dpm.h" DEFINE_DPM_SCALAR_UPDATE (reDPM,c,t,in,p) { Thread **pt; real vof_g = C_VOF (c,pt[0]); if (vof_g>=0.1) p-> reDPM = -1; else return vof_g; } |
Hi alexsantan,
Yeah I solved the problem, this is the UDF I used and it works perfect: #include "udf.h" DEFINE_DPM_SCALAR_UPDATE(charge,c,t,initialize,p) { Thread *phase_t = THREAD_SUB_THREAD(t,1); if(C_VOF(c,phase_t)>=0.5) p->stream_index = -1; } /* 0 in phase_t represents primary phase. If you want to find VOF for secondary phase, you will have to change 0 to 1. */ |
hi, Iman
do you know how to use this code in a parallel server ? thanx a lot! |

{ cell_t c; int water_index = 0; /* primary phase index is 0 */ Thread *water_t = THREAD_SUB_THREAD(mix_t,water_index); if(REMOVE_PARTICLES) /*This if loop removes the particles*/ { if(C_VOF(c,water_t)>=0.5) p->stream_index=-1; } } |
Storing the particles
Hi everyone,
stream_index gets rid of the particles from the domain. Does anyone know if there is there a way to get the properties and number of the removed particles removed from the flow ? Do we need to store them in an array or sth ? Thanks! Cheers, |
I don't know what's wrong?

Yes, I compile code,but I meet new difficulty,the fluent16.1 show “fluent16.1.0\win64\2d\fl1610.lib : fatal error LNK1113: invalid machine type”. |
most likely, you've installed visual studio in wrong way
read this information https://www.cfd-online.com/Wiki/Flue...UDF.29_Related |

But I have new problem. After adding the UDF, and I want fluent16.1 to show the particle trajectories. the following error occurs : Error: received a fatal signal (Segmentation fault). Error Object: #f. (If I didn't add the UDF, there's no problem) |
And you are really using the VOF model?
