Hi there
Sorry to ask such a general question but I'm really lost.
I want to simulate liquid particles in a gas flow. The particles are so small that they behave like solid particles. So I think they have to be lagrangian particles.
The gas flow carries the particles along. The geometry includes some obstacles. The gas flows obviously flows around the obstacles (fibres) while the particles are supposed to stuck to the fibres as soon as they touch them.
I started using interFoam and funkySetFields to insert the particles. However, even only one very small particle spreads out over a large area and doesn't behave at all like a droplet, much less like a solid particle.
Using icoLagrangianFoam doesn't seem possible either, since it doesn't work with OpenFoam1.5 which is the one I'm using.
Well, that's the problem.
Has anybody ever done something like this before or has any ideas how I could proceed?
Thanks, Sara
