Hi Openfoamers!

I want to launch an example from tutorial named cyclone with the solver MPPICFoam.
Unfortunately, when I launch the example on Paraview, I cannot see the lagrangian particles because it is impossible to reach them on the property display.

Anybody knows how to display the particles?

Hi
After running the case and opening paraview:
1- tick the box "skip zero time"
2- in the mesh parts, tick the last one "kinematicCloud - lagranian" and untick "internalMesh".
3- click on apply and enjoy particles

Hi!

Thank you very much.

I have already found the problem. I have run my case after between t=0 and 0.1s. But, the SOI (start of injection) that I found in kinematicCloudProperties file begin at 1s. That is why lagrangianCloud is not displayed.

Now, I have launched the solving up to 4s and I can display the particles.

Hi OpenFoamers.

I ran DPM simulation of the Goldschmidt fluidised bed and my particle visualization the particles are very small (check my attached file):



I want visualize it like this:

1) Is it posible visualize like that?
2) How?
3) I do not have the Langranian Field alpha, how can I put it on my results?

I hope someone can help with that.

Hi AndoniBM!

How long lasts your simulation?

Do you use Paraview? Have you change the display parameters on ParaView?

Hi OpenFoamers.
I would like to run the tutorial with the MPPICFoam server of the cyclone what are the steps to be able to make it work
thank you

Celia,

In your run directory make a copy of the tutorial case:

cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS/lagrangian/MPPICFoam/cyclone

Then type:

./Allrun

Note that the tutorial case decomposes the domain and you might want to adjust this.

It helped me to set the writeformat from binary to ascii.
otherwise you might get error messages for misplaced tokens in paraview.
