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've done the simulation with a adjusted mesh that resolves the boundary layer (y+<1). At a first sight, this doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

Additionally, I've attempted to setup the DPM for collection efficiency evaluation w.r.t. experimental data. I've noticed that the small particles don't enter the inner vortex (and therefore escape), but they get trapped at the bottom outlet, causing an unrealistic grade efficiency curve. I don't understand why the small particles don't enter the inner vortex.Â
