Particle density ρp (SI unit: kg/m3). By default this is taken From material. If User defined is selected, the default value is 2200 kg/m3.

Liquid droplets/bubbles must be selected for at least one species in the model in order to use the Droplet Breakup and Nozzle features.

the Compute particle temperature checkbox is selected in the physics interface Additional Variables section, and

|
Either Specify particle mass or Specify particle diameter is selected from the Particle size distribution list in the physics interface Additional Variables section.
|
When solving for particle temperature (by selecting the Compute particle temperature checkbox in the physics interface Additional Variables section), if the particle material has a temperature-dependent density, select Specify particle mass and density from the Particle property specification list, so that the particle mass (rather than particle diameter) is conserved, even as the particle density changes over time.

The Particle Properties node is a default feature for all particle tracing physics interfaces. This default node cannot be deleted or disabled, and it is not possible to paste or duplicate this node in the model builder.
However it is possible to add more than one instance of this Particle Properties node to the same model. When you do so, each instance corresponds to a different species of particle. For example, two Particle Properties nodes could represent ions and electrons, or white blood cells and bacteria. Unlike the default Particle Properties node, these nondefault nodes can be deleted, disabled, duplicated or pasted in the model builder.
When two or more species are in the same model, you can decide which species is released by each particle release feature, such as the Release, Inlet, or Release from Grid feature. To do so, select the appropriate Particle Properties node from the Released particle properties list in the physics feature Released Particle Properties section.
