Summary0003228: MPPICFoam/DPMFoam Wrong number of parcels on boundaries
DescriptionI did a simulation with DPMFoam and I considered different wall condition for each boundary( escape, rebound, etc.).
The illogical thing is that I just inject 550,000 particles in 5 seconds but after running, I can see that more than injected particles, I have some particles which go outside of the system or stick on one of the boundaries.
This is the log file and it can show the distribution of particles on each boundary after 314s:

OpenFoam 18.12 is not a valid version it is a fork of OpenFOAM which is not released or supported by the OpenFOAM Foundation. Please upgrade to OpenFOAM-6 or better OpenFOAM-dev and repeat the tests and report with details of how to reproduce the problem.
