forceModel_particleCellVolume command

Syntax:

Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.

forceModels
(
    particleCellVolume
);
particleCellVolumeProps
{
    upperThreshold value;
    lowerThreshold value2;
    verbous;
};

value = only cells with a field value (magnitude) lower than this upper threshold are considered

value2 = only cells with a field value (magnitude) greater than this lower threshold are considered

Examples:

forceModels
(
    particleCellVolume
);
particleCellVolumeProps
{
    upperThreshold 0.999;
    lowerThreshold 0;
    verbous;
}

Description:

This "forceModel" does not influence the particles or the simulation - it is a postprocessing tool! The total volume of the particles as they are represented on the CFD mesh is calculated. At "writeTime" a field named particleCellVolume , where scalarField is the name of the original field, is written. This can be can the be probed using standard function object probes. Using the verbous option a screen output is given.

Restrictions:

None.
