How to set pressure on the system?

Submitted by janne on Wed, 11/23/2022 - 02:54

Hello all,

I would like to simulate growth and reduction of particles.
So, I insert particles on system I defined and relax the particles with hertz contact model and cohesion model.
After then, growth and reduction of particles start by using diameter change rates.
As a result, I could get the system volume change during the diameter changing.

Moving region in dynamic process

Submitted by fiume97 on Thu, 11/10/2022 - 13:36

Hello Liggghts users,

I have encountered on one problem that I currently can't solve.

I have a filled up cylinder with up-down motion. Riggle move/mesh feature was used for the movement of the cylinder.
Now the task is to track the particles in one exact part of that cylinder, which means that it needs to be moved at the exact same trajectory.

Riggle movement is not implemented in move command of the region. I tried to describe the movement with the movement of the region with rotate feature, but the problem is that I can't see if it is correct.

Using Ray Tracing to Model Thermal Radiation in LIGGGHTS

Submitted by apsantos on Tue, 11/01/2022 - 01:07

Hello LIGGGHTS community. I am new to LIGGGHTS, having mostly used LAMMPS.

I am interested in incorporating radiation in DEM models for some phenomena where it is likely a large heat transfer mechanism.

I saw a 2013 presentation and seminar paper by Stefan Amberger, Christoph Kloss and Stefan Pirker on "Using Ray Tracing to Model Thermal Radiation in LIGGGHTS".

Free moving meshes under the effects of particle interaction and gravity

Submitted by Mide2001 on Wed, 10/26/2022 - 00:48

Hi Guys,

I am new to LIGGGHTS and struggling to create a free-moving mesh. Basically, I'm trying to create a mesh that moves and rotates under the effect of particle interactions and gravity. Is there a way to do this in LIGGGHTS? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Formula for kinetic energy

Submitted by krobot on Thu, 10/20/2022 - 13:32

Hello People,

i am a newbie in the LIGGGHTS. I am trying to calculate kinetic energy of two movie particle of same material type. Two Particle has the diameters of 3 and 5 micrometer. I can't match the same value down there with hand calculation for KinEng.

Memory usage per processor = 1128.1 Mbytes
Step Atoms Volume KinEng
0 2 125001.5 0
1 2 125001.5 3979.3507
2 2 125001.5 3979.3507

How to determine convergence?

Submitted by hemezz on Tue, 10/18/2022 - 09:02

Hello all,

I am a student who is very new to using LIGGGHTS, but I'm building a simulation of packed particle flow over a surface to study abrasion of that surface. Since the surface is uneven, the flow of particles isn't always laminar, and in some regions the particles may flow faster than in others. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to determine when the simulation has reached convergence - in other words, how do I determine how many timesteps are "enough?"
