Owen2612 is on a distinguished road
I am currently trying to model the 'particles/m3' of 0.5 micron particulate in a clean room using CFD.


Judging by existing research the passive scalar can be used for monitoring bacteria concentration or particles around the 0.5 micron size as a scalar.

However I am currently limited to Autodesk CFD, which can create passive scalar models but does not seem to have any way of creating the 'flux' to induce same '500 particles per second' from a surface. It also cannot create a scalar volume. Scalar boundary conditions are inputted on a surface.


Currently I am running the simulation with a human model , whos surface set to a scalar of '1' (representing the contaminate). I am not sure how to convert this into 'particles/m3'

Any ideas?
