particle exploding behaviour

Submitted by jurijgostisa on Mon, 03/24/2025 - 23:19

Could someone please help with debugging of the code for the particle exploding behaviour:

The case is derived from periodic channel example. Interestingly the behaviour is not flow dependent as the result is the same for different inlet velocities (even U=0). I have seen there was a particle-mesh interaction Bug (somewhere in v2), but I gues this was resolved by now.

I have tried reducing the timestep, changing particle-wall interaction parameters, etc but cannot get anywhere.

Thanks,
Jurij

I fixed the problem - it was the faulty mesh. I made it in Salome and it seems that the chamfered edges included overlapping triangles -> https://postimg.cc/rdSZnLm2

Now I came to a new problem:
-> when I start the cfdem calculation the velocity won't propagate from the inlet - https://postimg.cc/3Wb1ZwBD
-> interestingly when I run the calculation directly (pisoFoam from the CFD folder) the result is as expected - https://postimg.cc/gxpZy9fZ

Any ideas?
