Density ratio for resolved CFDEM solver

Submitted by rtyme06 on Thu, 05/31/2018 - 01:05

Hi,

I would like to know what is the preferred density ratio for particle and fluid for the cfdemSolverIB. Can I use particles which have the same density or lighter than the surrounding fluid?

Thank you.

Hi Raihan,

Do you have any progress on this topic? I have tried to use the IB solver to calculate the rising of a solid sphere "bubble" (density 1.2 kg/m3). The solver crashed after a few time steps and gave huge value of bubble velocity.
