dear friends! how can i define wet particles?it means solid+solvent. I think i should define a droplet. and how can i define a new mixture material? i use fluent to simulate a continuous fluidized bed dryer.(2 input, 2 output) regards

For a transient simulation, I suggest you write DPM property and switching and/or law UDFs to account for the fact that you have 2 substances in the droplet. Use a user-defined scalar to monitor the mass fraction of the solvent and then let the droplet properties be decided from the value of this scalar, for example.

Dear Henrik! Thanks for reply, Henrik, i can't use UDF and UDS because i dont know that and i have not enough time (I'm MS student of chemical eng. and it is my final project). I mean how can i do that with fluent without UDF. Fluent have a mixture that contain 1 solid+ 3 species(silicon+ h2+ sih2,...) is it possible to change it's property to set that as my mixture? Henrik, i really need your help, help me please. best regards

Hello again! Actually I'm also a MS student in Chemical Engineering doing my final project. Anyway I saw no other way than to learn how to write the UDFs I needed. I had not programmed in C before but in other languages and it was not very difficult, the UDF manual is not very large but it has some good examples. I suggest you start out looking at DEFINE_DPM_PROPERTY, DEFINE_DPM_SWITCH and DEFINE_DPM_LAW and maybe also DEFINE_DPM_BC. Good luck!

hello Henrik! what is ur project? is it fluidized bed dryer? may i define a flow of wet particles at inlet?or i have to use injection? regards

Have you looked at wet combusting particles. Liquid fraction can be set as any material. Be careful on defining liquid fraction - volumetric or wet basis.

For a dryer, the basic version of Fluent should be okay. For combustion, problems can be encountered at boundaries.

Dear Allan, Thanks for reply. i have 2 input( wet solids & fluidizing gas) and 2 output( dry solids & outlet gas).what is the best BC's? is it possible not to define injection and use mass-flow-inlet for inlet wet particles? regards
