CFDEM®coupling - User Forum

Hi CFDEM users,

Hi all,

does anybody did actually use the noDataExchange switch? In my cases the simulation crashes (complaining about setCG()) ?!

Hi

i'm currently trying to extend a working DEM-simulation with CFD.
The setting is like this: particles get moved trough a chute and a conveyor belt via DEM and end in a pipe where they should get sucked off via CFD. From what i‘ve understood by now, i need a mesh of the enviroment to get the CFD-part working. My question here is: do i need to mesh the whole enviroment or only the pipe where the particles get sucked off? When i only need the pipe, does it have to be closed on the ends?

Hi,
when I generate the region to initialize particles, I found that we should import the geometry and mesh in the dem settings and not use the openfoam geometry/mesh automotively. May I ask if they are relative independent mesh system in the simulation? is this possible to use two different set of geometry/mesh set for the DEM maybe should be in the fluid domain defined in openfoam?

Regards,
Dan

Dear all,

finally I managed installing OF 5.x on the CentOS machine.
Then I tried to install CFDEMCoupling the following way:


cd $HOME
mkdir CFDEM
cd CFDEM
git clone git://github.com/CFDEMproject/CFDEMcoupling-PUBLIC.git
cd $HOME
mkdir LIGGGHTS
cd LIGGGHTS
git clone git://github.com/CFDEMproject/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC.git
git clone git://github.com/CFDEMproject/LPP.git lpp

Hi Alice and Josef,

Please kindly advise my case on Ubuntu14.04. I have been using CFDEM3x for a long time, the compilation is always fine. I recently want to upgrade to CFDEM3.8 which has several new features useful to me. I installed OpenFOAM5x and LIGGGHTS3.8 without any problem. All run well. But when compiling CFDEM (cfdemCompCFDEMsrc), the following errors come:

Hi all,

I want to ask is there any method to simulate the free-surface of water using CFDEM coupling? For example, I want to simulate the process of a single particle settling into water from the air. Is there any possibility that we simulate the fluid wave around the surface of the water?

Furthermore, would it be possible that we simulate the interaction between solid, air and water?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Best,
Rachel

Hi,

Can I use the unit cgs for cfd but micron for dem in the simulation?

Dear all,

I want to simulate the process of a single sphere settling from air to water.

The question I want to ask is whether we can simulate the interaction of air, water and particles in the public version of CFDEM coupling 3.8? As I see from this post, https://www.cfdem.com/cfd-dem-coupled-vof. This function is not open to the public. I just want to make sure whether this function is free now or how we can use this function?

Any clues about such three phases interaction are greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
I am trying to simulate the single particle falling under gravity.
As a base case I took twoParticleGlowinski case, which uses IB method for particle.
In my case the particle also rotating with certain angular velocity.
the simulation is running fine but when I track the particle position I found that some part of particle is going inside
the wall (i.e. wall normal distance of particle center is less than its radius)
