DPM diameter mass distribution
 

Is would like to use the Rosin-Rammler distribution for a solid cone injection point. I try to check the size-mass distribution from a DPM sample on a plane in the geometry (from the .dpm file that is created). I do this with the diameter-mass flow information in this file. However, I do not find the distribution specified. Instead I get a uniform distribution of mass. Does anybody have suggestions?

Perhaps this thread can shed some light?

Hope that helps!

Thanks HS for pointing me out. This is interesting information, but it appears that this person finally found that the mass distribution did correspond to the R-R distribution (he found the problem for the number distribution). I find the effect both in the number and the mass distribution: both are uniform.

Check out the mass flow represented by each diameter.

That's what I did - create a .dpm file with diameter and mass flow for each particle. Next, create bins with diameter ranges and calculate the summed mass flow for each bin. This gives me a uniform distribution.

please have someone the process for use DPM to determine droplet size ?

Thank you
