Hi,
i have a question about the calculation of the contact force for particle-wall contact.
For example, if i use the Hertzian model, which radius will be inserted for the wall in the prefactor of the equation
sqrt(delta*(Ri*Rj/(Ri+Rj))*(...)?
Is the force calculated the same way, like for particle-particle-contact, at all?

Hi
if you look for normal Hertz contacts they use the radius R of the sphere for sphere and half-space contact instead of the effective radius for sphere sphere contact which is calculated by Ri*Rj/(Ri+Rj).
I hope this helps you.

Hi,
Hi,
this is correct. r_particle is the radius used for particle-wall contact
Cheers
