Coupling interFoam and LIGGGHTS

Hello All,

Can someone please suggest where do i start (any tutorials or examples) to couple interFoam with LIGGGHTS.
I have simulated my particle phase using liggghts and gas and liquid phase using interFoam (OpenFOAM). I want
to couple them using CFDEM.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Regards,

Narendra

Hi Narendra,

Hi Narendra,
the coupling doesn't just simply link an OF Solver to liggghts. It has its own solvers and uses OF libraries.
If you want to use interFoam capabilities with the coupling you have to write a solver. But CFDEM solvers are based on OF solvers.
I suggest you take a look at the source code of both OF and CFDEM solvers to see what exactly is going on there!
Then you can make your own cfdemSolverInter.

Cheers Josef

Hi Josef,

Thanks for your kind reply. My particles are smaller than fluid cell. So, shall i start with cfdemSolverPiso/ErgunTestMPI tutorial?

Thanks,
Narendra

Hello Narendra,

yes you should start by that, however you should also look at http://www.cfdem.com/forums/writing-new-solver and see if it is of any help,
