      I am using VOF-to-DPM model to simulate the metal liquid breakup in airflow. The result is shown in picture.

      You are probably using a small split factor and for that reason Fluent is creating several particles out of the transitioned VOF ligament. We usually use a very high value to avoid splitting and keep single droplet parcels. Can you check your settings?

      Thank you for your replying.
      The setting which you mentioned is 10, which is default setting for FLUENT. How much should I increase to? 50, 100 or more?
