Settling tutorial test

Submitted by rfbrpr on Sat, 09/01/2012 - 17:50

Dear All:

I run the settiling test and compared the numerical results and the analytical provided in the Octave code. The results agree well in this case, but if I increase the density of the fluid, for example 1000, the results differ in a 10% (logically I increase the density of the fluid to 1000 in the octave code). Do you know what is the reason of the divergence.

Dear Rafael,

There might be several sources for an error:
- the drag law used for the the "analytical" solution does not match the law used for the coupled simulation,
- coupling interval is too big (numerical errors on coupling side / or in the octave "analytics")
- ...

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Rafael,

I am recently paying my attention on this case. I have searched some literature, while I didn't find the source equation used in the Octave code. Could you please give me a hint?
