CFDEM for turbulent gas-solid systems

Submitted by Esi on Mon, 03/04/2019 - 13:25

Hello guys

Is it possible to simulate the turbulent flow of gas and solids inside a pipe with CFDEM?
Since it's turbulent flow, the cell size near to wall should be very small and it's less than particle size. How CFDEM deal with it when calculating void fraction in each cell? in other words, can a cell size be smaller than particle size in CFDEM?
I would really appreciate if you could help me with this problem.
Thanks
