CFX Particle Injection time

P9408 · August 14, 2014, 02:55

Dear All
I would like to ask you about the problem about the solid particle injection, my problem is the solid particle inject in rectangular pipe from t=0 [s] to 0.25 [s] and my total simulation time is 2 [s], so what should I do to stop particle injection at t = 0.25 [ s ] because right now every time step are injected the particle.

Thank you

Are the solid particle lagrangian particles?

Can you make the particle flow rate a CEL expression? Something like if(t<0.25[s],10[kg/s],0[kg/s])

Hi ,
Thank you for your information, I try as your suggest but still have the error

| ERROR #001100279 has occurred in subroutine ErrAction. |
| Message: |
| Floating point exception: Invalid number

also I try to reduce the time step but still have probles, so, do you have any suggestion

Note : I use Lagrange particle model.

It probably does not like a zero flow rate. Try 0.001[kg/s] (or some other small number) rather than zero.
