Simulating Particle motion in tube using UDF

alib022 · November 24, 2011, 04:13

Hi friends

I want to simulate moving a particle in a tube of water. I want to use UDF, Is there any one have any simple example of this type of UDF files?
or any body know which macro better to use?
CG_MOTION or SDOF ?

Hi
I think that your case will not require to UDF!
You can use the Injection option of Define meno in fluent for tail the one or more particle.

what kind of particle? rigid body?

yes, it's a rigid body, a rigid ball which it's diameter is half of tube's diameter

you can also swap the 6dof with cg motion. personally i prefer 6dof...

Hi Ali,

I would like to ask you how did you solve the moving sphere in the tube?
Now I get stuck on this problem and it could be great if you can help me.

Thanks Ali!
