Hi, I would like to (in a first step) model the movement of a bead in flow. This would be very similar to the demo here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyA5UiBJY0Q

Except that in this case the bead would not be in a fixed position but convected by the flow. Any pointer to how to do that ?

Thank you very much.

Hello Nicolas,

Depending on what information you are trying to get out of your modeling, a particle tracing approach may be simpler that an FSI approach. The Particle Tracing Module can compute the trajectories of beads in a flow.

Best regards,

Jeff
