Detailed Description

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 flow-field.

The kinematicCloud requires 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:

    tracks
    {
        libs        ("liblagrangianFunctionObjects.so");
        type        icoUncoupledKinematicCloud;
    }

Usage

Property	Description	Required	Default value
`type`	Type name: icoUncoupledKinematicCloud	yes
`U`	Name of the velocity field	no	U
`kinematicCloud`	Name of the kinematicCloud	no	kinematicCloud
