UDF for DPM velocity, relative or real one?

Zeallt · January 26, 2011, 15:11

Hey, folks,

I just noticed this problem, is the velocity UDF used for DPM module a relative speed to fluid, or it is already the actual speed,

that is, like, P_VEL(p)[i], what will get?

thx!!

so zeallt, do you solve the problem? because i have the same question now and i find that if the velocity in injection set the same with the boudary condition , the simulation results are not acceptable.

it will get the velocity of the particle , not relative velocity!

P_VEL(p)[i] gives particle velocity (not relative velocity) components.
i takes values 0,1,2 corresponding to x-, y-, z- velocity components.
Refer to DEFINE DPM_SPRAY_COLLIDE udf example, there is an expression for relative velocity calculation in it.
