TransAT Tutorial Manual 5.1. Particles in Crossflow

• Activate the following variables in the Output Variables window then click to save the
settings and close the window
Basic
Pressure : ON
U−Velocity : ON
V−Velocity : ON
Temperature : ON

P a r t i c l e Tracking
P a r i c l e Volume Fraction : ON

• In the Post-Processing section, activate Non-Dimensional Numbers if that is not already
the case (it is activated if its check-box is orange).

5.1.6 Execute Tab

• Click Execute at the top of the TransATUI

This tab is where the simulation is started and controlled.

5.1.6.1 Starting the simulation
Running TransAT
The number of processor in which the simulation is to be run can be changed by modifying the
value of the field Number of Processors. In this case, 1 processor is enough.

• Start the simulation by clicking

5.1.7 Results

Particles are released at T = 400K and they exchange both momentum and heat with the fluid.
The fluid gets warmer and the particles are cooled.
The results of the simulation can be seen with the help of the open-source visualisation tool,
ParaView.

• To launch ParaView, click Start and select All Programs > ParaView-4.0.1 > ParaView.

• Click on File − > Open.

• Navigate to your project folder.

• Go to the RESULT folder and choose <projectname>. . . vtm for 3D visualization.
