We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Your help is still great and so appreciated even under those laws, I can assure you.
As I've found, the dpm concentration is compured as:
DPM concentration = (Avg. particle mass in cell * Part resi. Time * Strength of particle) / Cell volume
Strength of particle =total particle flow rate / mass of single particle in the stream
DPM conc. = (Avg. particle mass in cell * Part resi. Time * Total particle flow rate) / (mass of single particle in stream * cell volume)
Among the mesh variable of the Custom Field Function there is "cell-volume-2D" . Maybe, if I would be able to substitute the cell volume in the dpm concentration formula with this one, I could solve the problem. As I've understood, this variable means to compute the volume with a uniform depth and not by considering the 3d geometry behind the axial symmetry.
To calculate the DPM_concentration with a new formula (generally speaking), I just need to write the new formula in the Custom Field Functions space using the variables listed and then by activating the custom laws in the injection panel, am I correct?
