Discrete Phase Model: Number of particels injected

anoop · March 16, 2011, 00:25

Hi

I am new to dpm in fluent.....i managed to generate particles using surface injection and tracked their progress using unsteady particle tracking. But I am unable to set the number of particles being injected into the fluid stream. I need to inject 100 particles at a particle time step of 1s for a total time of 5 seconds. But fluent is injecting about 200 particles...please help me on limiting the number of particels...

TY

Hi,
you can set that with particle flow rate in injection menu.
