Particle trace across aerofoil

Hi,
I am having trouble with producing the particle trace just going across the aerofoil to show the use of the actuator with the streamline. The issue I’m having is confusing and for some reason it is looping itself in the flow field.
Any help or solutions would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Celyn

Hi @cbarnett,

Thanks for posting your question. Could you please drop the project link here?

best,

Hello @cbarnett , and apologies for our delayed reply here.

It seems like the project isn’t shared with support yet; could you please share the project with support and let us know again?

My best guess here is that your setup doesn’t include an outlet boundary condition, so the flow loops back to velocity inlet boundary condition again. A usual approach is to use Velocity Inlet - Pressure outlet coupling for entry and exit of the flow, and to use Slip Wall boundary condition to mimic the wind tunnel walls on the sides.

Please let us know if this doesn’t solve your issue, or if you have any other questions. We’d be happy to help you.

Best wishes, Kaan
