Why is the mass flow rate of a chemical species into the domain not equal to the product of the mass fraction and the bulk mass flow rate?
Help.

Fluent / Modify drag coefficient using Fluent UDF

« on: April 25, 2012, 10:15:30 AM »

I want to modify the drag force on the particle tracked using Lagrangian approach based on the concentration of particles in the cell volume. To get the cell information I need to know which cell the particle is in. I can not figure out how to do this in the DEFINE_DPM_DRAG

Can anyone help me please!

gPROMS / gPROMS - Aspen

« on: February 11, 2012, 02:45:24 PM »

Hi

I am trying to use a CO properties package created in Aspen Plus 2006.5 21.0 in gPROMS. Does anyone have any tutorials on how to do this and/or does anyone know the ThermoSystemProgID of Aspen Plus?

Thanks.

Fluent / I am getting unrealistic temperature and velocities for DPM particles.

« on: February 06, 2012, 06:28:17 PM »

I am tracking the particles using the lagrangian approach. Sometimes the temperature of the particles exceed the temperature of the continuous phase. Sometimes it goes to negative kelvin. The velocity of the particles is also weird. I have coupled the momentum exchange terms in Fluent. Particles momentum and fluid phase momentum is exchanged once per iteration.

What am I doing wrong?
