Lubrication Force

Submitted by evansmuts on Sat, 06/20/2015 - 19:29

Hi

Does anyone have any experience with the "lubrication force" between particles? Is the "lubricate" pair_style in LAMMPS/LIGGGHTS the same as what many papers use as the lubrication force? It looks like a totally different formula in the code.

e.g.: Zhang, W., Noda, R., and Horio, M. “Evaluation of Lubrication force on colliding particles for DEM simulation of fluidised beds”. Powder Technology, 158, pp 92-101, 2005.

Thanks
Evan
