virtual_mass_force

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

Bases: Group

Configures the virtual mass force model. Important when particle density is comparable to or lower than fluid density (e.g., bubbles, light droplets).

Attributes

Attribute	Summary
enabled	Includes virtual mass force (important when particle density is close to fluid density).
virtual_mass_factor	Sets the virtual mass force model coefficient.

Included in:

Parent	Summary
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.
