[Moved from CFDEM(R)workbench] Phase Change using LIGGGHTS

Submitted by Zaki on Wed, 12/13/2017 - 19:58

Hi everyone,
I am new user of LIGGGHTS and have less knowledge about this tool.
I need help for my MS project.
I want to melt down the solid particles (spherical particles) in bucket or while flowing in pipe and then pour this molted material into dye to form required shape solid particle by cooling.
Means phase change occurs from solid to liquid and then to solid from liquid.
Is it possible in LIGGGHTS or not? If yes, than please help me that how can I proceed it?
Thanking you in anticipation.

This functionality is only available in the premium version of LIGGGHTS. We are currently also working in a publicly funded research project on it, so with the completion of this project (2020) we will release this into LIGGGHTS public, but I understand that this might be too late for you. So you would have to program this functionality yourself which I would judge to be a PhD project and not a MS project.

Best regards,
