This video demonstrates how to analyze oil droplet motion and deposition inside an oil catch can using midas NFX. A steady-state airflow simulation is performed first, followed by one-way particle tracking to identify droplet trajectories and capture locations.

Oil Droplet Tracking Workflow : 

• Steady-State Airflow Analysis
Inlet velocity, outlet pressure, and wall boundary conditions are defined to calculate the internal airflow. The converged flow field is then used as the basis for particle tracking.

• One-Way Particle Tracking
Oil droplets are tracked using one-way coupling, where airflow influences droplet motion without feedback from the droplets to the airflow calculation. The Deposition wall condition is applied to treat droplets reaching a wall as captured.

• Droplet Trajectory & Deposition Analysis
Velocity and pressure distributions are reviewed alongside droplet trajectories and deposition locations. The results show how airflow changes direction around the baffles and how these flow paths relate to oil droplet capture.
