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 have set the following parameters for my simulation in ANSYS Fluent:

  1. Type: Pressure-based
  2. Velocity Formulation: Absolute
  3. Time: Steady
  4. Multiphase: Eulerian
  5. Viscous Model: k-omega, mixture
  6. Discrete Phase: ON
  7. Injection Type: Surface
  8. Particle Type: Inert
  9. Material: PVC powder (560 kg/m3)
  10. Diameter Distribution: Rosin-Rammler
  11. Discrete Phase: Particle
  12. Particle Velocity Magnitude: 16 m/s
  13. Total Flow Rate: 0.3 kg/s
  14. Min Particle Diameter: 0.000063 m
  15. Max Particle Diameter: 0.00025 m
  16. Mean Diameter: 0.0001 m
  17. Spread Parameter: 1.5
  18. Number of Diameters: 10
  19. Drag Law: Wen-Yu
  20. Inlet Boundary Condition: Velocity Inlet (20 m/s air)
  21. Outlet Boundary Condition: Pressure Outlet
  22. Initialization: Hybrid
  23. Calculation Iterations: 200
  24. Pipe Length: 32 to 35 m approx.

Can you confirm if these settings are appropriate for my particle and air flow simulation (fluid fluent)?

Training tutorials are a good option, but I need to resolve this issue urgently.

Please let me know as soon as possible. Your guidance is crucial for me as I cannot proceed further with my simulation without it. 

Thank you.
