Hello.
I want to simulate the behaviour of the water intake to a hydroelectric plant.
It's a multiphase flow with 2 continuous fluid (air and water) and free surface model.
So far I've used CFX, no pb.

But now I want to inject sand and do particle tracking.
I got an error message in CFX because multiphase flow together with particle tracking is not supported...

So should I switch to CFD ? Will it be feasible and not too difficult (I'm a beginner on Ansys !).
or can I stay in CFX ? Then I guess I should give up particle transport morphology for sand.....

If some expert could help me make the right choice, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Z

Sure. Multiphase flow, free surface with discrete phase.
