MPPICFoam in Paraview - Density of particles
 

Hi all,


I'm enjoying some particle tracking with MPPICFoam, compiling it with foamToEnsight and visualizing it in salome/Paraview.



I'm doing everything I can, but there is no way to visualize a colored map of particule density, the only way is a monochrome particle cloud, which is not that useful. :confused:

My work is based on the glorious "injectionChannel" tutorial (if you never ran it, do it, it is really nice to look at).


Is there a trick I am missing ? How to extract and visualize a particles/cm³ 2D map ?

Do I have to write a dedicated script ?



Cheers,


A.

Hi Destouches, nice simulation. I also came across the same question, how to visualize the density of the particles, and my solution was:

1- Extract cloud position and save it in a .csv file (File -> Save Data)
2- Use a gaussian-KDE(Gaussian kernel density estimation), to visualize the cloud density https://python-graph-gallery.com/86-...th-2d-density/
