Driving Factor in periodicChannel Tutorial

Submitted by arka20 on Sat, 06/04/2022 - 20:58

In the periodic channel flow of cfdemSolverPiso there is neither any Pressure gradient nor any inclined plane gravity force - so I could not understand what is the driving factor of this flow.

P.S. I am an extreme newbie (2nd Year Chemical Engineering Undergraduate Student). Please help me to understand the concepts :)

Hi,
If you try to look in the file fvOptions in your CFD/system folder, you can find how the flow is created. Here a desired mean velocity is created. The velocity of the flow can be changed in here for this case.

Best of luck,
Jeppe
