Hi guys

Im working on OPOSPM of PBM. This PBM solving method is very simple. As the article said:

Code:
Therefore, for the solution of PBM in CFD, only one additional transport equation for the total number concentration is needed. This equation is introduced into Fluent as a user-defined scalar. The simple source term is written as a user-defined function and added to the transport equation.
I uploaded this equation(see the attached). Right now I have one transport equation, but I have two unknown quantities: N_d, d_30 or m_0.

In the article it said:
Code:
m_0 is included as a user-defined scalar in FLUENT.
So I think it have two unknown quantities and one transport equation. I think it is unsolvable.

More details see this article, am I misunderstand it?

Any comments are welcomed.
