Can LIGGGHTS be used for the granular gas simulations.

Submitted by sajjadjeeven on Thu, 12/01/2011 - 08:34

Dear All !
I have a basic question " can LIGGGHTS be used for the simulation of dilute granular media i.e. especially for the granular gas?" if yes, is there some special limitation about time step or some other limitations ?

Anyone help, i will be thankful.

yes

I would say the time-step has to obey the Hertz criterion (checked by fix check/timestep/gran), but not necessarily the Rayleigh criterion

Cheers, Christoph
