Hi all,

Am simulating a micro-sorter to sort the blood cells. I have used Particle Tracing for Fluid Flow to define my cell. I wanted to define three sizes of cells, so as to analyse how they flow and get sorted inside my micro channel. Could somebody help me to define three different diameter and particle density.

Thanks for the help

I wanted to define three(atleast two) different particle for my study.
I have tried using

particle density=if(particleindex<50,1069,3900)

particle diameter= if(particleindex<50,6E-6,15E-6)

Also i have tried using some equations like this
1E-6+IF(random(particleindex)<0.5,0,2E-7)

But i could not create different kind of particles. Someone pls share your idea on this

Would any question be ever responded in this forum?
or Is that I have asked a absurd question?

Hi,

Don't say that nobody answers the questions, please. But you can try to answer other's questions. We, people here, try to participate, although we could do more ...

Your question is not absurd, but surely most of us are interested in other topics.

Why you simply don't add more "Particle Tracing for Fluid Flow" nodes? It seems that each node is for only one particle. You know: go to your model node, right click and choose: "Add Physics". You can add as many "Particle Tracing for Fluid Flow" nodes as you need, one per each particle.

There is a related thread: www.comsol.com/community/forums/general/thread/32626/

Hi Jesus Lucio,

Since am a new user of comsol, I felt i cant proceed further without someone's help.
Anyways, thanks for your suggestion and let me try doing that
