Convergence of DPM problem

Armitage-Shanks · March 20, 2015, 16:03

Hey, I'm trying to run a monitor of the DPM mass source for a disel spray so I can find the mean Sauter Diameter of the droplets, however when I come to run the calculation the message "Injection injection-0: particle -1 not found in domain (0.000000e+00,1.500000e-03,0.000000e+00)" repeats and the convergence graph remains a flat line (see image attached).

I'm new to using fluent so I'm not entirely sure where I've gone wrong further back. It's a 2D model and I've based most of the progress on it so far from the Evaporating Liquid spray tutorial but with my own values. I can provide anymore information if needed.

Cheers

Go Mesh > Check and read the Domain Extents to see where your domain extends in x, y, (z) directions.

Next, check where you are adding the particles: are the injections outside the computation domain above?

This was the exact problem. Cheers man.
