Abstract
This computer program plots the trajectories of up to 10 particles released with a user defined (including zero) velocity into a fluid stream with a defined (including zero) velocity. The trajectories can be plotted in x - y, x - t and y - t formats and the end results presented. Constant and variable fluid - stream conditions can be specified. The fluid properties are specified by density and absolute viscosity and the particles by their mass and equivalent diameter. The program uses the drag coefficient – Reynolds number relationship for spheres as the default but user specified values for other shapes can be loaded, used and stored. The program has an associated Manual to assist in its use but no help screens.
