forceModel_particleVolume command

Syntax

Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.

forceModels
(
    particleVolume
);
particleVolumeProps
{
    verbose switch1;
    writeToFile switch2;
    scale scalar1;
    startTime scalar2;
};

• switch1 = (optional, default false) switch for output to screen
• switch2 = (optional, default true) switch for output to file
• scalar1 = (optional, default 1) scaling of the particle volume d=dSphere/scale
• scalar2 = (optional, default 0) start time of volume calculation and output

Examples

forceModels
(
    particleVolume
);
particleVolumeProps
{
    writeToFile false;
}

Description

This “forceModel” does not influence the particles or the simulation - it is a postprocessing tool! The total volume of the particles located in the CFD domain is calculated.

Restrictions

None.
