Bacteria sources in simulation

June 16, 2008, 06:20

Hi all,

I am using a CFD program to model the distribution of bacteria in a room in which I known the sources in terms of bacteria no./sec e.g, 15 cfu/sec.

I want to use a passive scalar model to find the bacterial distribution yet I am finding it difficult to represent the sources in the model as I need to specify the above flux and is not the general mass fraction source but a particle number source.

any tips on how to do this would be greatly appreciated
