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.

I appreciate your quick response,
To be a little more specific, I am interested in tracking the sedimentation of particles, which are not even that small 500-2500 µm (2.5 mm), the density ratio can range between 1.1 to 2.5. Regarding the particle size relative to the domain cell size, I'll show u two images of 2D circular and elliptical cylinder.
 
   
 
I would be interested in other points of view, and the option of being able to move the fluid instead of the particle could be considered. However, I don't know if this is the right way to solve the problem, since I would like to be able to not only obtain the fluid dynamic forces (drag, lift and torque) during settling, but also track the particle's trajectory and velocity.
