This article explains how to calculate the spray penetration using a passive scalar in the Lagrangian multiphase framework. The same method may be used to get the particle track/path length.

A passive scalar together with a passive scalar source can be used to monitor the spray penetration (distance travelled by particles from the injector until the current position).
Note that several definitions of spray penetration exist in the literature. If you are comparing Simcenter STAR-CCM+ results with experimental data, double check that the same definition is used.
