LBM compared to CFD coupling

Submitted by Nathan on Thu, 12/06/2018 - 03:24

Dear all,

Coupling LBM with DEM is an interesting approach which has been initiated by CFDEM project led by Phillipe for several years. I have not gone deeply into this method, but one of my first questions is why this method has not been used and developed much in comparison to CFD-DEM coupling. There should be some limitations of LBM-DEM coupling that has hampered it from wider application.

I am looking forward to discussion and sharing experience of this method, which would be very helpful to oncoming users.

Thank you,

Regards
