Combination of the CFD and DEM by CFDEM

Submitted by Arghavan on Sun, 07/07/2019 - 14:48

Hi everyone,
I am working on a problem by CFDEM coupling, I have done the tutorial with the cylinder and chute everything was fine, but I wanted to have a box or a cube instead of the cylinder, so I had to change my blockMesh dictionary, But I knew that I also need to change some boundary conditions for all the properties on zero folder and this gave me some errors after I changed them.

but I decided to solve CFD with OpenFOAM separately with box domain and slove DEM (Chute) with Liggghts, everything is fine and I have the results of both separately. Now I want to use these results to use CFDEM coupling. I want to know how can I do that. More precisely, I have one initial file in Liggghts when I want to do the DEM simulation but in CFDEM I have two files one is for initialization and the other is for running, could you please help me or give me an idea how to do that?

Thank you in advance,
Arghavan
