Summary0003234: MPPICFoam/DPMFoam Wrong number of parcels on stick boundary
DescriptionBy using MPPICFoam, I injected 550,000 parcels (nParticle=1) inside a pipe and I considered sticking boundary conditions for the pipe wall.
What happens is that the number of parcels which are deposited on the pipe wall is higher than what is injected.
Flow is laminar, incompressible with gravity in parallel computation.

Attached you can find checkMesh report, KinematicCloudProperties file, and part of the log file which can show the number of stuck particles.
I tried doing this simulation with a lower number of parcels but I faced this problem again.

I also tried icoUncoupledKinematicParcelFoam and it provides a correct number of parcels on the stick boundary condition. In my case just MPPICFoam should be used and I shouldn't use an uncoupled solver.

That case took you 43 hours to run on 40 cores. That is too big to debug. Have you got anything smaller which demonstrates the problem?

You are right. I have uploaded another case with log file and some time step outputs. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkqWyjWvlskVlhdQ_T10HMAZCyG5
sorry if it is still not very fast. Because this error can be seen after some time.

I did this simulation with different particle size and number but I faced this bug again.
icoUncoupledKinematicParcelFoam works without this bug and the number of particles on surfaces with stick bc is true.

If you turn the packing model off in constant/kinematicCloudProperties, does that fix it? I.e., replace "packingModel implicit;" with "packingModel none;".

No, it will not be fixed because I did this simulation with packingModel implicit in OP5 and everything worked well.

Will,
I tried what you told about packingModel and it doesn't work on OP6.

I cannot see why the reporting should be incorrect, and I cannot reproduce the problem. I have run your case from a time of 30 on 16 cores and over the first few second of physical time the number of stuck parcels reported matches the saved data.

I don't doubt that there is a problem, I just can't reproduce or efficiently investigate it with the information you have given me.

If you want this investigated further you will need to supply a *smaller* case which demonstrates the problem, so that it can be run and tested and modified in a much shorter time frame. If you can produce such as case, then please open a new report.

In the meantime you will have to rely on the actual written out "active" field to determine how many parcels have stuck to the wall.
