initialize particles position in kinematiccloudpositions

chpjz0391 · March 21, 2016, 23:57

Hello
I am a new beginner to openFoam and working on particle tracking in the case goldschmidt by MPPICFoam. I want to initialize the particles number and position as my own case, if there is anyway to achieve this. For example, I have 2000 particles, it's really a huge work if I typed each particles position in kinematicCloudPositions.

Cheers.

Hi

I was answering another post with the same question.

If you're still interessted you can read here:

Thanks
