Extract individual hydraulic forces on particles

Submitted by Nathan on Fri, 07/14/2017 - 03:39

Hi CFDEM users,

I am looking for a solution to extract individual hydraulic forces, e.g., drag and viscous forces acting on particles when coupling. The current compute f_dragforce will result in the total fluid force.

Can anyone advise how to do this ?

Thanks,

Regards,

Hello,
I would suggest to create fields in the individual force models and save the contribution of each force model individually (requires some coding...).
Cheers,
Alice

Dear Alice,

Thanks for your hint. I will do it. Can you suggest any existing codes or models which are using the same concept (additional field in each force model), so I can base on that to start my code ?

Thanks,

Regards,
