Particle Remediation Model Reference

The Particle Remediation model regulates particle behavior to ensure accurate and efficient flow representation within the SPH multiphase computational domain.

You define the parameters to remedy the fluid particles leaving the region of interest of the computational model. The model then ensures that these particles are removed from the simulation according to certain user-specified criteria to optimize computational resources. Particle disordering (shifting) method enables a near uniform particle distribution in the domain.

Particle Remediation Properties

Enable Position-Based Removal
When activated, provides the Position-Based Criterion node which allows for removing particles that cross a Bounded Shape geometry part surface. The selected part (bounding box) is stationary, that is, it remains unaffected by the motion of parts. The particles are removed from the simulation based on their positions with respect to the bounded shape. You use this option to remove particles that escape the simulation in unbounded geometry cases or leak through boundaries in bounded geometry cases.
Enable Velocity-Based Removal
When activated, provides the Velocity-Based Criterion property which allows for removing particles when they exceed a specified maximum velocity threshold. You use this option to remove particles that have unphysical velocities, due to local instabilities or particles that are trapped between boundaries.
Velocity-Based Criterion
Specifies the maximum velocity that particles can reach. Particles with velocities above this value are removed from the simulation.
Shifting Option

Selects the particle shifting method. This method redistributes the fluid particles in order to ensure a homogeneous particle distribution.

Method Corresponding Properties
None
Shifting is not accounted for.
None.
Skillen
Activates the Skillen shifting method.
Shifting Coefficient
Specifies χ in Eqn. (1126).
A value of 0 corresponds to no shifting applied. You are advised to specify a value of 1 if you want to apply shifting.
Shifting Limit
Specifies ξ Eqn. (1128).

You are advised to specify a value of 0.1, which means that the maximum correction applied to the velocity is 0.1 times the amplitude of the current velocity.

Particle Remediation Controls

Position-Based Criterion
Allows you to use a Bounded Shape geometry part for the position-based particle removal method.
Parts
Selects the Bounded Shape geometry part which establishes the criterion for position-based particle removal. Particles that cross the surface of this part are automatically removed during the simulation.
