Hi All,

I am quite interested in the simulation of water drying, which is shown in the CFDEM Features. However, it is in process. Could anyone please let me know how to add the water (moisture) in the simulation system? And When this features will be released? Any suggestion and idea would be greatly appreciated！

Thanks so much~

Dear Kun
Hope you are well. For my project, I need to make a model of fluid bed drying. I have hot air coming in from the bottom and heating wet particles and eventually drying the particles. For this, I could run the simulation up to the heat transfer from the fluid to the particle, which is pretty straightforward and a lot of tutorials helped me. But, now I am really stuck as I need to incorporate moisture in particles and simulate drying. My first idea was to use cfdemSolverPisoSTM and consider the moisture as species but I do not know what is speciesCCapacity and how can I relate this parameter to the drying rate. So I could not go anywhere.
Could you do the drying simulation? Can you please provide me some input. I do not know where to start or look at. I would really appreciate your help.
Regards,
Syed
