Dear all,
I want to simulate the process of a single sphere settling from air to water.
The question I want to ask is whether we can simulate the interaction of air, water and particles in the public version of CFDEM coupling 3.8? As I see from this post, https://www.cfdem.com/cfd-dem-coupled-vof. This function is not open to the public. I just want to make sure whether this function is free now or how we can use this function?
Any clues about such three phases interaction are greatly appreciated.
Best,
Rachel

Is there any update?
Hi all,
Has anyone ever dealt with the similar two-phase fluid problem? Could you give me any clues about this? Thank you very much.
Best,
Rachel

Hi Rachel,
Hi Rachel,
The VOF/CFD-DEM is not (yet) in the public version.

Thanks
Hi Tim,
Thanks for your message. That's a pity and I will try to code it by myself.
Best,
Rachel

Have a look at this paper:
Have a look at this paper:

The authors present a VOF/CFD-DEM method based on OpenFOAM's InterFoam algorithm
