We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

If the fluid you’re talking about is the only fluid you’re using in the simulation it cannot be modeled as DPM because DPM is a way to inject discrete particles into a continuous fluid/domain. I am not sure why do you want to represent your fluid in a particle form. I don’t think you can achieve that.
Unless you want to visualise your streamlines in a particle form than this is different from actually simulating the fluid flow in particle florm.
There are methods to simulate fluids as particles such as smooth particle hydrodynamics but this is not CFD and it is not achieved by using ANSYS. These methods are usually used in 3D animations and they lack physical accuracy.
