Pressure Driven Particulate Flow

vagaikwa · March 2, 2013, 19:58

Hello,
Can anyone please suggest which model in Fluent I should try for modelling a pressure driven flow 2D/3D in which i can specify the particulate concentration?
I was trying the DPM model. But it says that the volume fraction of secondary phase should be negligible. In my case its not.

Thanks for the opinions.

Sir,

I think your problem can be solved in an Eulerian framework... so, what about trying mixture or Eulerian-Eulerian models?
