30.9. Residence Time

Ansys Polyflow can calculate the residence time distribution in the part of the domain where a velocity field has been calculated. The residence time distribution can be calculated in 2D and 3D calculations in steady-state and time-dependent modes. This postprocessor differs from individual time integration along a trajectory, where the result is obtained for a single material point only. With this postprocessor, a residence time distribution value is obtained over the whole domain.
