Simulating discrete solid phase inside a continuous fluid phase

Hello
I want to simulate the air which contains slid particles as a tracer. I do not know which CONVERGE case and simulation is appropriate for my case? Actually I need to track the solid particles. Does anyone has simulated solid particle as a discrete phase?
thanks

Hello,

This can be done using the Lagrangian parcel solver we have. We typically use this to model liquid fuel injection in Engines. You can use this solver along with a liquid.dat with solid density swapped with liquid density. You can turn off droplet/parcel breakup, collision and coalescence, droplet deformation and evaporation models. However, these droplets are modelled as point sources without any physical radius.

Thanks,
