Discrete Phase Models popularly abbreviated as DPM, is a lagrangian model of simulation and  is mainly used in much more complex systems where particles are important, such as in nano fluids. In most situations, it will be necessary to observe the movement or behavior of one or a group of particle in the system of importance. DPM helps us to track the particle and understand its behavior with the system.

DPM finds applications when a phases is being injected into another phases such as in the case of diesel injection in IC engines, or particle injection in, nano fluid flow etc. With the ability to track the movement of each individual particle and trace its path lines, understanding the physics of flow in the system has been much easier.

DPM has found applications in simulations involving not only particles, but sources of point mass which is important for the system, which includes agglomeration of particles, deposits, bubbles, colloidal solutions etc. Their influence on the continuous phase is expressed by momentum exchange fields, which are based on the loss or gain of the particles’ momentum.
