Solver CFDEM

Submitted by pipegaldames on Tue, 04/30/2013 - 17:06

Hi everyone, I try use CFDEM for my own case, for this I have the script of the CFD part using the solver "interFoam" of openFOAM and now I need it couple with LIGGGHTS, I was watching the tutorials of CFDEM and the solvers are cfdemSolverIB, cfdemSolverPiso, cfdemSolverPisoScalar and things like that. My question is , is possible coupling my case of openFOAM with LIGGGHTS ? , and, how add the solver "interFoam" in the CFDEM script ? .
Regards.

Hi Filipe,

you need to write a new solver, based on interFoam, with add-ons for the particle handling and coupling to LIGGGHTS - similar to what is done in cfdemSolverPiso.

Cheers,
