From the Loads section of the action bar, click Particle Injection Location.
Optional:
Enter a descriptive
Name.
Select the geometry Support in the model.
You can click Face Supports or Volume
Supports to filter the set of eligible components.
From the Injection profile options, select one of the
following:
Option
Description
Mass Flow Rate
Mass flow rate of particles injected through the selected face or
volume.
Particle Flow Rate
Rate of particles injected through the selected face or
volume.
From the Diameter profile options, select one of the
following:
Option
Description
Uniform
All particles are the same size.
Linear
Particles sizes vary randomly within a specified range of diameters.
Normal
Particle sizes vary randomly based on a normal
distribution.
Log Normal
Particle sizes vary randomly based on a logarithmic normal
distribution.
Rosin-Rammler
Particle sizes vary randomly based on a Rosin-Rammler
distribution.
Specify the particle size parameters for your selected diameter profile:
For particles of uniform size, enter the Diameter
of the particles.
For particles with sizes that vary randomly within a range of diameters,
specify the Low Diameter and High
Diameter values for the range.
For particles with sizes that vary randomly based on a normal
distribution or a log normal distribution, specify the Average
Diameter and Standard Deviation
values for particle size.
For particles with sizes that depend on a Rosin-Rammler distribution,
specify the Reference diameter and
Exponent for the distribution.
From the Velocity options, select one of the
following:
Option
Description
Relative
Particle input velocity that is added to the flow velocity of the
fluid at the injection location.
Absolute
Absolute particle input velocity without consideration for the flow
velocity of the fluid at the injection location.
Specify the X-, Y-, and Z-components of the relative or absolute velocity of
the particles.
In the Temperature field, specify the temperature of the
particles as they enter the fluid region.
In the Parcel size field, specify the number of the
particles in each parcel. When the parcel size is relatively large, the
simulation groups more particles together, which can improve performance but
sometimes reduce solution accuracy.
