CFX Post - How to see how many particles enter and exit the domain?

AllyB2106 · April 14, 2018, 11:36

Hi there,

I have gotten a simulation running on CFX which involves aerosol particles flowing into a nose with air. I was wondering how I can find out exactly how many particles enter and exit the domain via CFX post? In the transient file, for the last timestep about 50% of the particles are collected on the walls - would I just use this figure?

Would very much appreciate any advice!

Usually, this information is given in the output file. I expect that every timestep an overview is given of the particle entering and leaving the domain.
