Combining particle tracking and natural convection

smpark138 · October 20, 2014, 00:27

Hi all,

I am trying to simulate a natural convection and particle tracking simultaneously. However, when adding the particle transport to the fluid domain, there are only 3 options (None, isothermal, and fluid-dependent) as heat transfer models. I want to use "thermal energy" but this function disappeared under the addition of particle tracking. Does anybody know the reason?

Thanks,

Set it it "fluid-dependant" then you set the heat transfer model for each phase and you can set thermal energy there.
