Does anyone know of a convenient way to create a rotating pour stream? I have an application where I'd like to insert particles into a tank (roughly a cylinder along z-axis) as a fairly high speed stream coming from a nozzle (more or less a point source) inside the tank, but the nozzle rotates about the z-axis creating a ring-like spray pattern.
I'm aware of the gimbal demo simulation posted at this board, and in a pinch, that might work, but I'm afraid it might be difficult to get the right kind of dynamics coming out of the tube.
Thanks,
Chris

Maybe it would work by
Maybe it would work by inserting the particles into a cylinder and applying a rotating forces in the bottom region of the cylinder, which depends on the particle mass. You can try fix addforce (not from the current LIGGGHTS version, but from a recent LAMMPS version) for that
