The Length is the physical distance travelled by the particle whilst in the domain. However there are some other interesting details here too.

The thing you are interested in here is the Residence Time, which is the “life time” of the particle, or how long it exists in the calculated domain.

Then, to find the time of a particle in the domain, simply RMB on the Particle Study created and View Results.Īnd you will get a table of results for each particle injected into the inlet. Define an injection of particles from the inlet.To do this, we therefore start off by performing a particle study: I was asked yesterday if it was possible to calculate how long the flow lasts inside the domain during a flow simulation? Think of this another way and it is easy to solve how long does it take a particle to pass through the domain when it enters the flow inlet.
