Heat transfer through a wall

Submitted by Joel Martis on Thu, 03/03/2016 - 15:24

Hi all

I was wondering if LIGGGHTS had the feature of a conducting wall, where I could set the wall conductivity. I could only find the option to set wall temperature, but not a conducting wall.

I don't want to measure wall properties. Instead, I just want to change boundary conditions on the particles near the wall, so that, instead of having to interact with a wall at fixed temperature, the particles are now interacting with a wall whose heat flux is given by q=-k(dT/dx)

Computing increments in LIGGGHTS

Submitted by wenglee on Wed, 03/02/2016 - 22:51

Hi everyone,

I was trying to compute a moving laser on a heat bed. I successfully define the heating at one region which is defining the coordinate of the region of the heat bed but I am trying to make that region to move ( just like a laser moving on the heat bed) where my x coordinate moves from 0,1,2,3,4,5....or should I say its something like the function x=x+1. Do you know what command that I can use to resolve this issue?

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks.

Particles insertion

Hi every one....!
i am trying to simulate a mixer that contain glass beads with impeller in the middle.I am a new user of LIGGGHTS, i don't know how to make geometries for this setup.I means which components to be made in CAD?? which CAD software is to be used ???currently i made a vessel and impeller in PRO E and saved in STL format.when i use this then vessel geometry does'nt import nd i get problem with this.

Shear Stress Verification Problem

Submitted by pnkumar on Tue, 03/01/2016 - 05:58

I am studying the granular flow on inclined plane with different angels. In my simulation, x is flow direction and z is perpendicular to the plane. On achieving the steady state, profile for velocity, volume fraction, shear rate, shear stress and pressure seems fine. But when profile for shear stress in direction perpendicular to the plane (in my case it is zz) and shear stress in xz direction are not in accordance with the profile obtained from the momentum balance equation.

As I am still trying to figure out why is this happening? Can anyone suggest to make it right?

Using different partial sizes Beginner please help?

Submitted by aquinolarosa on Mon, 02/29/2016 - 02:31

I am a beginner and trying to figure my way around liggghts. I am using 3x materials (1x big particle, 1xsmall particle, 1xbin). As the particles are of difference sizes which command do I use to define the different particle sizes and how would this affect the neighbour lists.

thanks in advance for your help.

I attached my input file also here,please any who have idea about this,kindly help me
