Hi,  
I’d like to request particle tracking to be included. Using massless ‘particles’ can be very useful in ensuring there are no areas in a domain where flow becomes trapped and ensuring there is good recirculation through the domain.  
All the best

Hi,

It would be also good to have particle tracking for particles of a given mass or size distribution. I have used this successfully in other CFD packages for modelling wind driven rain and cooling tower drift impacts.

Thanks a lot for your feedback Jason (@cfd_user)!

All the best!
