fluent DPM - post processing ParaView

gigivmasche · December 10, 2015, 15:14

Hello everyone,
For a university project, I am developing a 2D unsteady flow past a cylinder, with injection of particles through the inlet of the domain. Even the particle tracking is unsteady. It is a particle laden flow (1 way coupling) and I want to view the effects of the shed vortices on carrying the particles.
I am using fluent as solver and I have some problem with the post-processing.
I tried first with the ansys post processor and then with paraview. No problem to visualize the air flow with both of them. But, I can’t render the particles tracking.
What I tried:
-in order to visualize it, in ANSYS post processor, I set: calculations activitiesautomatic exportparticle history data export
-to visualize it with paraview I just created a .txt file with x- and y- position of each particle for each time step but I couldn’t create an animation to show the motion of the particles.

Any suggestion, please? Is there anyone who got through this problem?

many thanks

Gio

Dear friend
Have you got any solution i am still facing the same, i want to track particle by animation but unable to activate this in ANSYS Fluent
Thanks

hello!
did you find the solution? I also want to read a file for particle deposition in paraview in order to visualize the trapped particles but I don't know how to do this any help, please!

Hello zahrae,
can you share some test data to investigate it in ParaView?
best,
Damian
