Momentum coupling

Submitted by vinaym on Thu, 04/05/2018 - 14:11

I am confused about the momentum coupling options in CFDEM viz implicit/explicit. Following are my questions.

1. what is TotalForceImp displayed in the cfdem log
is this done implicitly? sum(mesh.V()*Ksl.internalField()*(Us.internalField()-U.internalField()));

I ask this because of the next question.

2. On CFD side I have momCoupleModels selected as implicitCouple

While on DEM side for the resume file, I have: fix cfd2 all couple/cfd/force
How is the force calculated in this case? is it done explicitly?

does this have to be couple/cfd/force/implicit?

Thanks and regards,
Vinay
