<P>Reasonable example settings for the "couplingProperties" dictionary are given in the tutorial cases.

<PRE>modelType
|

</PRE>
|
||||
<P>"modelType" refers to the formulation of the equations to be solved. Choose "A" or "B", according to Zhou et al. (2010): "Discrete particle simulation of particle-fluid flow: model formulations and their appliccability", JFM. "A" requres the use of the force models gradPForce and viscForce, whereas "B" requires the force model "Archimedes".

<PRE>couplingInterval
|
||||
</PRE>
|
||||
<P>The coupling interval determines the time passing between two CFD-DEM data exchanges.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>A useful procedure would be:
|
||||
1) Set the DEM TS in the in.xxx according to the needs of the pure DEM problem.
|
||||
2) Set the "couplingInterval", which refers to the DEM timesteps. Depending on the problem you will need to have a close (small couplingInterval) or loose coupling.
|
||||
3) Choose the CFD timestep in the controlDict. it must be equal or smaller than the coupling time, otherwise you will get the error: "Error - TS bigger than coupling interval!".
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>Example: DEMts=0.00001s, couplingInterval=10 exchange data (=couple) will happen every 0.0001s.
