SQP particle with mean and stdev

MFiX How to
#1

Hi, how can we initialize SQP particles for diameter range?

For example, say for, prolate spheroid, I want to specify mean and standard deviation for major axis while keeping other two axes constant. If it’s not possible in MFiX environment, what are different columns if we’d like to generate in MatLAB.

Best,

This is not supported natively in MFiX. MFiX supports particle size distributions (PSD) but this will scale all axes by the same factor.
Hower, by using a particle_input.dat file you can specify any combination of particle properties that you want.
As particle_input.dat is an ASCII text file you can generate it with whatever software you are most familiar with. (I’d write a Python script.)
