particleCellVolume

Syntax

Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.

postProcessingModels
(
    particleCellVolume
);
particleCellVolumeProps
{
    verbose          switch1;
    writeToFile      switch2;
    startTime        number1;
    upperThreshold   number2;
    lowerThreshold   number3;
};

  • verbose = switch for output to screen (default: false)

  • writeToFile = switch for output to file (default: true)

  • startTime = start time of volume calculation and output (default: 0)

  • upperThreshold = Only cells with a field value (magnitude) lower than this upper threshold are considered. (default: 0.999)

  • lowerThreshold = Only cells with a field value (magnitude) greater than this lower threshold are considered. (default: 0)

Examples

postProcessingModels
(
    particleCellVolume
);
particleCellVolumeProps
{
    upperThreshold 0.999;
    lowerThreshold 0;
}

Description

The total volume of the particles as they are represented on the CFD mesh is calculated. Further the total volume of the cells particles are in is calculated. At writeTime a field named particleCellVolume is written. This can then be probed using standard function object probes. Analogously a field named cellVolume is written. Using the verbose option a screen output is given.

Restrictions

None.
