Measuring particle accumulation height

Kiran Purushothama Keshavan

Hello,

I have a simulation setup which is just a simple case of particle accumulation on a flat plate. I'd like to know 2 things:
1. The correct method to measure the height of particle accumulation at multiple points, I'm asking you this question because whenever I try to measure the height of accumulation, the particle to geometry distance is a slant line as shown in the figure, I just need to measure the correct perpendicular height.

2. Is there a way to measure the average accumulation height for the entire surface?

Thanks,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,

 

You can measure the height of the bed in the following ways.

1) Simply plot the Axial position of the particles in analyst and from legend you can understand the height of the bed

2) You can use bins to measure the position of the bed

3) you can write a Python script to calculate the position/height of the bed by calculating the difference of the least particle axial position and maximum particle axial position which the maximum height of the bed

 

I hope this helps.

 

Thanks,

Prasad A
