Forum ModeratorIf it's just particle flow and they're not being melted I'd look at Ansys Rocky (DEM code). That will couple to Fluent if the carrier fluid adds significant effects to the system.

SubscriberI don't really unterstand what you mean with your answer. Could you try to describe it a bit simpler? I am no expert when it comes to Ansys.
Some additional Information, hope it helps:
The solver I am using is the Polyflow solver and I am simulating an already melted polymerflow. I just impose a certain kg/hour inflow. I wanted to know if with those settings I am using I can somehow model the way particles would behave if I were to color them, like in the example I sent earlier.
Thanks again

Forum ModeratorOK, I don't use Polyflow.
If you want particles in a screw feed than I'd use Rocky, possibly with Fluent. If I want to model a polymer extrusion I'd (ask someone else to) use Polyflow.

SubscriberHello Rob, thanks for your help nonetheless. Do you know how I would ask someone else that knows polyflow? Do you have employees specifically for that?

Forum ModeratorWe do, I'll nudge the "manager" team to find someone.

Ansys EmployeeYou can track particle using Polyflow using the module called Polystat.
More information can be found here:
There are several examples about the use of this module in the example manual:
Example 50: The Rectangular Cavity
Example 51: Coextrusion of Polymers in a Square Channel
Example 52: Flat Die
Example 46: Periodic Flow Through a Kenics Mixer
Example 37: Mixer 2-D
Example 65: Adaptive Meshing for Moving Parts; Mixer 2-D
Example 91: Dispersion
Example 116: Distributive Mixing Analysis in the Mixer GK7N
I would focus on example 46 as it is like your application.
In case you do not know, here is the link to find and use the Polyflow Example manual:
