How to Analyze Particle Size Distribution at Different Heights When Using MFIX-PIC?

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working with the MFIX-PIC method, and I’ve set up a particle size distribution (PSD) for the solid phase in my simulation. After the simulation completes, I would like to analyze how the particle size distribution varies at different heights within the domain. However, I couldn’t find any output options related to PSD in the MFIX output settings. Could anyone please advise on the best way to approach this?

Any suggestions, tips, or references would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

You could set up monitors for different horizontal slices and save statistics such as minimum, maximum, average, and standard deviation of particle diameters.

Or you could select “Save particle positions at end of run” and write your own code to analyze the particle_ouput.csv file.
