Particle Tracking

5.1 Particles in Crossflow

The goal of this tutorial is to introduce the Lagrangian particle tracking feature of TransAT.

In this tutorial a flow in a channel with a cross-stream flowing downstream of the primary in-
let is simulated. In both inlets particles of 3 different diameters are injected in the flow. The
temperature equation is solved for both the fluid and the particles. Two-way momentum and
temperature coupling between the fluid and the particles is accounted for.

The domain is a two-dimensional channel with length of 10cm and height of 1cm. The dimension
in the z direction does not matter as long as the number of grid points along that direction is 2.
The flow is modelled with a uniform 41 × 10 grid.

5.1.1 Prerequisites

• TransAT

• TransATUI

• Paraview (or Tecplot)

5.1.2 Launch TransATUI
• Double-click the TransAT icon on the Desktop.

5.1.3 Opening TransAT window

The first step in creating a new TransAT project is naming said project and giving it a location.
