      The UDF in this solution assumes the use of either the standard electric field model or a user supplied magnetic field. Particles are “charged” randomly by setting a DPM Scalar value to represent the number of electrons. The force is applied using the DPM_BODY_FORCE UDF as the force is not applied directly by the fluid as with DPM DRAG.
