Dummy rho field in Immersed Boundary solver

Submitted by fwesel on Wed, 12/20/2017 - 11:39

Dear CFDEMers,

I am looking at the twoSpheres tutorial, do you know why a dummy rho field = 1 is created when the IBSolver is run? Can you simply define a new rho field if you want to simulate a different fluid? Will all the forces between particles and fluid be computed correctly?

Kind regards,
Frederiek

Hi Frederiek,

yes cou can set the fluid density via the initial rho field and this is taken into account for the calculations.

Cheers,
Josef
