Hello, I have a problem using the DDPM model coupled with eulerian model.

I'm working in the simulation of a hydrocyclone, where I have 3 phases, phase1: water (eulerian model), phase2: air (eulerian model), phase3: antracite (DDPM). I'm working with Dense Discrete Phase Model (DDPM) for the antracite.

Time Step: 1e-4
Iteraciones/Time Step: 35

Inicialization: I patch the interior of hydrocyclone with air, then I start the inlet of water, past 1 second I start the inlet of antracite.

The antracite inlet is with a Rosin-Rammler distribution where
Vel inlet: 6,45 m/s
mass flow rate: 1 kg/s
Max diameter: 0,00021 m
Min diameter: 0,00001 m
Mean diameter: 0,000035 m
spread number: 1,057
Number of diameters: 7

The mesh have 250.000 elements. The max skew quality is 0,5.

I thing maybe the Parcel Diameter is too high i/r with the cell size. I adjunt my case. I need help because this proyect is my tesis , and i have this problem for 4 months.


The case is in this link : https://mega.nz/#!eYB30bAZ!RiypP8Vn_...CTmPyK2AqmFRQ8

For any reason, I can't attach the file at the post.

Thank You

don't track particles with fluid flow timestep and reduce particle timestep size
also you may try to refine your mesh

What's your average cell size? What's the smallest cell size?
