CFDEM®coupling - User Forum

Hello everybody,

I am trying to install CFD-DEM on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine (via VirtualBox).

So far, I seemingly installed with success OpenFoam 2.1.1 and git-cloned LIGGGHTS 2.1.2 as well as CFDEMcoupling 2.1.1.

My problem is that the compilation of LIGGGHTS through command
"cfdemCompLIG" failed with the error message "virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory". The original OS of my computer is Windows; I installed VirtualBox and Ubuntu 12.04 on it, without trouble.

Hello,
Can someone please help me out with this error mentioned below. I have run the same script on LIGGGHTS successfully but it's showing error in the CFDEM solverpiso. Even pair style i changed to gran/hooke/history, it wasn't working with gran/hertz/history. Thanks in advance.

Hallo Christoph,

I intend to couple multiphase flow using VOF method (e.g. atmosphere and water) with Liggghts. It seems that CFDEM only supports single phase flow right now. So i would give a try to make a rasInterFoam solver with CFDEMcoupling. Is there some useful papers or tips to do this?

Thanks.

Cheers, David.

Hello:

When I use the git command:

git clone git://github.com/CFDEMproject/CFDEMcoupling-PUBLIC.git CFDEMcoupling-PUBLIC-$WM_PROJECT_VERSION

After downloading I obtain the following directory:
CFDEM-coupling-2.1.1

This means that the version I downloaded is 2.1.1? In this case how could I dowload the latest version since the git manual does not ask me the version that I wish to download (version 2.4.4)?

Cheers

Rafael

Hello:

I have been looking the files related to sedimentation test. And I'd like to know the meaning of this terms found in the the liggghts file.

#cfd coupling
fix cfd all couple/cfd couple_every 10 mpi
fix cfd2 all couple/cfd/force

Thanks

Hi to all
I have installed CFDEMcoupling and LIGGGHTS according to procedure in "githubAccess_public.pdf" . finally it was compiled and it seems to be succeed becoase the CFDEM tutorials run properly. But when I want to run an example in LIGGGHTS it does not work and the message is:

The program 'liggghts' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
apt-get install liggghts

I type :liggghts

Hi
I have tryed to install CFDEMcoupling and LIGGGHTS according to procidure in "githubAccess_public.pdf" . But when I check the settings by typing "cfdemSysTest" in terminal, Results printed as:

*******************
system settings:
*******************
CFDEM_VERSION=PUBLIC
couple to OF_VERSION=2.1.x

check if paths are set correctly
valid:yes critical:yes - $CFDEM_LIGGGHTS_SRC_DIR = /root/LIGGGHTS/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/src
valid:yes critical:yes - $CFDEM_PROJECT_DIR = /root/CFDEM/CFDEMcoupling-PUBLIC-2.1.x

Hello,

Dear All:

I run the settiling test and compared the numerical results and the analytical provided in the Octave code. The results agree well in this case, but if I increase the density of the fluid, for example 1000, the results differ in a 10% (logically I increase the density of the fluid to 1000 in the octave code). Do you know what is the reason of the divergence.

Dear All:

I have been finding in the CFDEM manual the meaning of the above terms but with no succes. Could you explain what they mean?

Regards
