CFDEM and wear on walls

Submitted by linnemann on Tue, 05/07/2013 - 10:27

In LIGGGHTS we have the example "chute_wear" which uses the Finnie model to estimate wear.

Is the same thing avaliable using CFDEM?

I havent been able to find any documentation and tutorials regarding CFDEM in this area.

It could be nice to have a simple elbow bend example of how wear and CFDEM is working together.

Another question.
Is it possible to use a velocity field from OpenFOAM in LIGGGHTS as a simple 1-way coupling?
