Hi guys,

I was looking around to see how to simulate the particle tracks in terms of the line. And I realised that actually in some versions of the ansys fluent there is a possibility to choose the line as the form of particle tracks style. (as shown in the picture)

However, when I am using the student version of Ansys workbench 2021 R2, I cant seem to get that style. Its only point or sphere. Why is that the case? Is it the version problem?

There aren't version restrictions.

But there are some restrictions when certain models are used in parallel with shared memory options. So check your environment and your case in general.

Hmm, sorry because I am new to Fluent, if my environment is as shown in above and for my case:

I am simulating the spread of covid19 in outdoor.

Transient flow, rng k-epilson, DPM with interaction with continuous phase together with stochastic collision, coalescence, break up, hybrid initialize.

For the particles used for injection i used water-liquid inert particle to simulate.

Why would it cause it to not have the particle residence time tracked in a line form? What should I change?

Environment means options when launch the software.


Btw you are showing a screenshot of CFD Post which is not the same thing as Fluent. Maybe that's your problem.
