cfdemSolverMultiphase command¶

Description¶

“cfdemSolverMultiphase” is a coupled CFD-DEM solver using the CFDEMcoupling framework. Based on the OpenFOAM solver multiphaseInterFoam®(*) it has functionality to simulate several fluids using the Volume of Fluid approach, coupled with the DEM code LIGGGHTS for solid particles.

For more details, see Vångö et al. (2018).

Warning

This solver requires OpenFOAM 4.x or 5.x to work properly.
