Velocity & volume tracking of moving droplets

rassilon · August 23, 2010, 03:31

Hi Folks,

Hopefully somebody will be able to help me here.

The model I am working on develops a number of fluid droplets that move through the domain. It would be really useful if I could obtain two things from the model:

The velocity of the droplet (or the leading ISO surface of the droplet) as it moves
The volume of the droplet

Does anybody have any suggestions as to the best way to go about obtaining them? Ideally I would like to capture the data at runtime, but am happy to use the sample utility if need be.

The real question I have is How? Are there any tutorials etc that I could take a look at?

Many thanks,

R

I've worked out how to get the droplet volume using Paraview, but finding a way to divine the velocity of the droplet still eludes me...
