a strange problem on DPM model
 
I happen to a strange problem on DPM model.

This problem is that.

DEFINE_DPM_EROSION(dpm_accr, p, t, f, normal, alpha, Vmag, Mdot)

I want to know the meaning of Mdot
For example,the total flow rate = 6e-6 kg/s,step time=0.1 The particles are uniform distributing;the number of net at in inlet of the particles are 10.
when step time=0.1,Mdot=6e-8;
when step time=0.01,Mdot=6e-9;
what is meaning about the Mdot? is there some relationships among total flow rate,step time and Mdot?
Thanks for your help!

I also wanna know the differences between P_FLOW_RATE(p) and Mdot?
