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.

OK, so just the carrier fluid changes phase. 

The solidification/melting model works by freezing flow in cells below the solidus temperature. So, for Eulerian you can possibly use phase interaction or material properties to do this.  Equally, at 11microns the glass beads may follow the flow, if so, do you need to include them? Or if the volume fraction is low maybe DPM? 

There are options, but you need to do some more reading to understand how/what the solver does to then apply that to the specific example you wish to model.Â
