Particle Injection

Create a Particle Injection simulation object when you want to model particle flow in the fluid of a 3D flow simulation.

The Particle Injection simulation object lets you define:

• The location at which the particles are injected into the fluid. The particle can be injected only at fluid element free faces, not at embedded faces.

• The physical characteristics of the injected particles.

You should use particle tracking when you need to simulate how particles are dispersed in a fluid domain, for example, dust in a vacuum cleaner.

Note:

Because the gravity acts on the particles, you must specify a gravity vector.

Where do I find it?
