This functionObject tracks a uncoupled kinematic particle cloud in the specified velocity field of an incompressible flow (laminar, RANS or LES).
It may be used in conjunction with any transient single-phase incompressible flow solver such as pisoFoam or pimpleFoam and tracks the particles or parcels without affecting the the flow-field.
The kinematicCloud requires the the density of the fluid which is looked-up from constant/transportProperties dictionary and the acceleration due to gravity which is read from the constant/g file if present or defaults to zero.
The kinematicCloud properties are read from the constant/kinematicCloudProperties dictionary in the usual manner.
Example of function object specification:
