forceModel_Archimedes command

Syntax

Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.

forceModels
(
    Archimedes
);
ArchimedesProps
{
    gravityFieldName "gravity";
    twoDimensional;
    suppressProbe   switch1;
    treatForceDEM   switch2;
    verbose         switch3;
};

• gravity = name of the finite volume gravity field
• twoDimensional = optional keyword for conducting a two dimensional calculation
• switch1 = (optional, default false) can be used to suppress the output of the probe model
• switch2 = (optional, default true) sub model switch, see forceSubModel for details
• switch3 = (optional, default false) sub model switch, see forceSubModel for details

Examples

forceModels
(
    Archimedes
);
ArchimedesProps
{
    gravityFieldName "g";
}

Description

The force model performs the calculation of forces (e.g. fluid-particle interaction forces) acting on each DEM particle. The Archimedes model is a model that calculates the Archimedes’ volumetric lift force stemming from density difference of fluid and particle.

Restrictions

none.
