Granular flow analysis on Earth

Submitted by devarshi Patel on Fri, 03/28/2025 - 08:15

hello guys, currently i'm working on granular flow analysis on moon and for that this is the input file that generates output simulation, can you find major issues regarding this?
# LIGGGHTS input script for a simple granular flow (Earth gravity)

units si
atom_style granular
boundary f f f
newton off

# Define simulation box

create_box 1 domain

# Define material properties

# Particle interaction model

# Time integration

i hope you guys reply me soon that will be so helpful
