hydrostatic pressure

Submitted by tala on Thu, 10/05/2017 - 12:18

Dear all
I want to know is there any way to apply a hydrostatic pressure to stl walls of LIGGGHTS program?
I am working on a coupled cfd-dem model and I need to add the hydrostatic pressure of fluid to stl walls in dem side,
Any help is very appreciated.

Hi Talat,

this is currently not implemented. Does your hydrostatic pressure vary a lot? If not, you could average the pressure and calculate the force for a servo wall for it.

Cheers,
Josef

Dear Josef
thank you for reply, is there any plan for implementing this option in near future?
