Scaling particles method?

Joshua García

Hi all;
I'm trying to do a simulation and due to the particle size it takes too long. I've read that I can scale the particle size, but I don't know how this will affect the flow of the particles in the system, or how to tell Hyperworks CFD later that those particles are scaled.

Thanks in advance

Hi Joshua,

The Hyperworks CFD 2021.2 release is planned to include particle scaling method as you describe. If you need early access/beta this might be something to discuss with your account manager.

Hi @Joshua García 

 

there is a really nice article on particle scaling effects that i've found:
