Can't access granular components in LIGGHTS3.0

Submitted by jjohnfuller on Fri, 04/04/2014 - 16:46

Hi There

Have LIGGGHTS installed on MAC Mavericks and it compiles with the RIGID module only correctly

However many packages I include I cannot see any of the pair styles for granular work - e.g. pair style gran hooke etc

I have reinstalled a number of times and can compile OK and it runs, but can never access these functions

Am I missing something obvious here ??

What are the minimum packages required for Granular modelling

Any help much appreciated

different conductivity coefficient

Hi all,

I want to simulate the heat transport inside an isotropic aggregate, so the conductivity coefficient change as a function of direction too, my idea was to use an aggregate particle formed by 4 atom type and to set conductivity coefficient for each particle 4 different coefficient,
is that possible?

dump the conductive heat flux on a surface element

Hello everyone,

Now, I tested the conductive heat transfer between particles with stl surface with an older version 2.3.2. The desired quantity I want to obtain is the heat flux transfered from an element of the mesh, in the same way as the wear quantity.
When digging into the code detail, I noted that there is a command 'compute wall/gran/local' evaluting this quantity.

Hello!!

I have the following error when running an example:

LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/examples/LIGGGHTS/Tutorials_public/chute_wear

help me please!!!

Thanks!

Insert particles from region

Submitted by carlesbp on Thu, 04/03/2014 - 20:52

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if it is somehow possible to define a region, introduce particles on it through the command create atoms and insert them to another region.
For example, create a cylinder full of particles, creating a pack, and drop it to a surface. Is that possible or the closest option is using the insert/pack command?

Thanks in advance!

Multi-sphere clumps penetrate wall

Submitted by MiRa on Wed, 04/02/2014 - 08:50

Hi everybody,

when setting up a computation, I am using the fix rigid command in order to generate L-shaped multi-sphere clumps.

My problem is that some of the clumps pentrate the CAD mesh and get stuck in the wall (cf. attachment). Does anyone know how what the problem could be?

Best regards,
MiRa

How to turn off drag forces to part of particles in coupling mode?

Submitted by keepfit on Mon, 03/31/2014 - 11:24

Dear LIGGGHTS/CFDEM developers,

I am interested in modelling fluid-clusters interaction using the LIGGGHTS-OpenFOAM coupling scheme. However, I am facing a problem on the calculation of drag force on clusters (or non-sphere particle).

The cluster is composed of large number of spheres, since drag force is Surface Force, that means there is no drag force acting on the internal particles within the cluster. but the default CFDEM solver will calculate drag force on every particle, hence the Resulting drag force on the Cluster is much bigger.
