Background of formula for heattransfer between two particles

Submitted by RobertG on Wed, 07/08/2015 - 15:43

Hello,
I'm trying to understand how LIGGGHTS calculates the heattransfer.
On the page:
http://nf.nci.org.au/facilities/software/LIGGGHTS/doc/fix_heat_gran.html
you can see, which formulars are used. But I don't get the the one in the middle.
I can't see how it is composed of.
Can some one give me hint or a Link to the paper?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards
RobertG

Installation - problem with paths

Submitted by Mario on Wed, 07/08/2015 - 14:47

Hey

I followed the installation on: http://www.cfdem.com/media/CFDEM/docu/githubAccess_public.html step by step.

I use the following:

Ubuntu-Version: 14.04 LTS
Openfoam-Version: 2.3.0 and the additional libary "waves2foam" to generate and absorb free surface water waves.

If i use "cfdemSysTest" he gives back the following:

Mass of imported geometries

Hi everybody,
I had started out with LIGGGHTS a while ago, and know a few basic commands. I would like to know if it is possible to add mass (or) density for that matter, to any of our imported geometries. eg I am importing a box (.stl geometry) and pouring particles inside it , but i also require the box to be of a particular mass. Is there a way to do it ? , or are there any other alternate solutions ? Kindly help.

thanks

CONTACT OF GEOMETRIES

I have created 3 .stl geometries using the " mesh/surface" command. Now I want to make to of these to make contact without penetrating one another.
for eg. I am trying to oscillate one geometry , which will hit the other one and this will eventually set the particles in oscillation. Can anybody please suggest how do I go about doing this. I have attached a snapshot of my simulation with 3 different geometries ( 3 different colors). Here, the red one needs to hit the green one.

How to dump displace of atoms out?

Submitted by chqiao on Mon, 06/29/2015 - 12:44

Hello everyone,
I have done a simulation with a large amount of particles flow down a flume to a horizontal container at the bottom which already has particles in it, I want to know the displacement of the particles at the bottom. By enquiring the Manual, I found the "compute 1 all displace/atom", this command do the job of computing the displace of atom in specified group, but I don't know how to dump out the computed results. Can someone give me help? Any suggestion will be appreciate. Thanks!

Best Regards!
Qiao
