Hi,
I am planning to couple CFD with DEM to simulate the influence of waves on sand dunes, starting with a wave flume setup. I am relatively new to CFD and DEM. So far, I have prepared my own cases for both CFD and DEM and successfully validated the benchmark particle settling case using CFDEM. Additionally, I have independently used olaFlow with OpenFOAM to generate regular waves.
However, I now wish to integrate olaFlow with OpenFOAM and LIGGGHTS using CFDEM. Is there currently any provision available to achieve this? If not, could you suggest the necessary modifications to CFDEM for coupling them?
Furthermore, I aim to model a three-phase system involving air, water, and granular particles. Is CFDEM compatible with such a setup? If yes, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share relevant resources, such as journal articles, weblinks, or videos, to guide me through this process.
Thank you in advance for your help!
