Setting up the Lagrangian droplets
In this section, you will specify physical models, properties and solution controls for the Lagrangian droplets. The creation process for these droplets is controlled by the ELSA model.
Define droplet solution controls:
•In the pro-STAR Model Guide, select Lagrangian Multi-Phase > Droplet Controls (see Figure 23-41)
•Make sure that Two-Phase Lagrangian Calculations is set to Coupled
•Set the Droplet Mode to Explicitly defined parcel injection
•Click Apply

Defining boundary regions and boundary conditions
In this section, you will set the nozzle inlet boundary conditions. This defines the Eulerian part of the spray model.
Define the nozzle inlet:
•In the pro-STAR Model Guide, select Define Boundaries > Define Boundary Regions (see Figure 23-45)
•Select Region 31 from the table and set the panel parameters as follows:
•User Option — Table
•Table Name — injection.tbl
•Coordinate System — 11
•Turbulence Switch — TI/Length
•Turb. Intensity — 0.01
•Length (m) — 2e-05
•Density — 824.6
•Temperature — 310
