changing the particle size

Submitted by shahabgol on Wed, 11/29/2017 - 08:24

Hello all,
I want to replace a large particle with two smaller particles if the contact force exceeds a fixed value (for simulation of particle breakage). Any suggestions how to do it?

I have used the fix break_particle in LIGGGHTS 2.3, but I could not successfully compile that version of LIGGGHTS in CFDEM coupling. So, I decided to find another way to simulate the particle breakage in a CFD-DEM simulation.

Regards,
Shahab
