class ansys.fluent.core.generated.solver.settings_271.physical_models(name=None, parent=None)#

Bases: Group

Enables and configures physical submodels for the discrete phase.

Attributes

Attribute

Summary

particle_radiation_enabled

Enables interaction between particles and the radiation model.

particle_forces

Configures and enables forces acting on particles. Force models are critical in flows with strong gradients, ~%shear, buoyancy, or temperature differences where secondary forces significantly affect trajectories.

erosion_accretion_enabled

Enables modeling of wall erosion or accretion due to particle impact.

erosion_accretion_rate_accumulation_enabled

Accumulates erosion and accretion rates over multiple tracking passes.

pressure_dependent_boiling

For pressure-dependent boiling, the boiling temperature is

temperature_dependent_latent_heat

This option includes the droplet temperature effects on the latent heat,

twoway_turb_coupl_enabled

Enables modulation of carrier-phase turbulence due to particles.

secondary_breakup_enabled

Enables droplet breakup due to aerodynamic forces. Essential in high Weber-number flows where aerodynamic forces can fragment droplets.

volume_displacement

Configures fluid displacement effects due to particle volume. Relevant for dense particle loading where particle volume fraction affects fluid continuity and momentum equations.

wall_film

Controls physical modeling and numerical treatment of the Lagrangian thin-film model.

Summary

discrete_phase

Configures the Discrete Phase Model (DPM) to track particles, droplets, or bubbles in a Lagrangian framework.
