Abstract type for flow rate profile distributions.

Abstract type for injection models.

Abstract type for particle size distributions.

Constant flow rate profile.

Represents a generic particle injection model.

Constraints imposed by OpenFOAM:

• nParticle makes massFlowRate and massTotal to be ignored.

• massTotal cannot be used in steady state simulations.

• if flowRateProfile is not found a constant massFlowRate profile is computed from the ratio of massTotal and duration.

To-do:

• Check if parcelBasisType from is applicable to derived types.

• massFlowRate::Number: Particles mass flow rate if nParticle is not provided.

• massTotal::Number: Total mass to be injected if nParticle is not provided.

• SOI::Number: Start of injection in seconds (base).

• duration::Number: Duration of injection in seconds (base).

• nParticle::Number: Number of particles per parcel.

• uniformParcelSize::UniformParcelSize: Quantity that is constant in parcels (base).

• flowRateProfile::OpenFOAM.AbstractFlowRateProfile: Type of flow rate profile to apply.

Represents a patch injection model.

• name::String: Name to use in injection models list.

• patchName::String: Patch where injection is applied.

• injectionModel::InjectionModel: Object pointing to general injection model.

• U0::Velocity: Particles injection velocity vector.

• parcelsPerSecond::Number: Number of parcels injected per second.

• sizeDistribution::OpenFOAM.AbstractSizeDistribution: Particle size distribution.

Table flow rate profile.

Tabulated density size distribution.

Types of uniform parcel sizes.

Simple wraper velocity vector.

Round and convert number to an integer.

parcelstoinject2d(;
    mdot::Float64,
    rhop::Float64,
    diam::Float64,
    nParticle::Int64 = 1
)

Computes the flow rate of parcels for a given mean particle size and number of particles per parcels. This is inteded as a helper to create a patchInjection element in the injectionModels of cloudProperties file.

The mass of a sphere of density rho and diameter diam.

The volume of a sphere of diameter diam.
