Hello all,

I have Lagrangian data (particle id, diameter, and velocity) came from particulate flow simulation with OpenFOAM and I wanted to plot the particle trajectories inside the paraview. I have created the VTK files through the time.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,
this is an old question, but maybe someone still needs this.


Please look here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/H..._based_methods


You probably already did

foamToVTK

Next, you need the particleTracksProperties dict:

cp $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/lagrangian/particleTracks/particleTracksProperties <CASE>/constant/

Next, you need to create the particle positions in VTK format:

particleTracks

Then, in paraview, open the vtk files from VTK/lagrangian/kinematicCloud, apply glyph filter, and apply temporalParticlesToPathlines filter. Klick the play button, and trajectories should start to be displayed with the particle movement.
