[Description:]
The force model performs the calculation of forces (e.g. fluid-particle
interaction forces) acting on each DEM particle. The {BeetstraDrag} model is a
model that calculates the particle based drag force following the correlation of
Beetstra et al., AIChE J., 53(2) (2007).
The filtered drag model is based on S. Radl, S. Sundaresan, Chem. Eng. Sci., 117 (2014).
[Restrictions:]
This model is strictly valid only for monodisperse gas-particle flows.
For the polydisperse model of Beetstra et al. (2007) use {BeetstraDragPoly}.

[Description:]
This "force model" does not influence the particles or the simulation - it is a
postprocessing tool! Starting at start time the specified fields are temporally
averaged and written at "writeTime". They can then be probed using standard
function object probes. The output name is timeAverage_scalarField, where
scalarField is the name of the original field.

model that calculates the particle-fluid-gas interfacial force.

[Description:]
This "forceModel" does not influence the particles or the simulation - it is a
postprocessing tool! Starting at start time the volume weighted averages of
those cells of the fields within the threshold are calculated.
At "writeTime" a field named volAverage_field, where scalarField is the name of
the original field, is written. This can then be probed using standard function
object probes.
[Restrictions:]
Currently all fields have the same threshold value!

NOTE: This examples list might not be complete - please check below for the list
of models that can perform particle probing.
[Description:]
The {particleProbe} feature keeps track of per-particle quantities (e.g., the
fluid-particle interaction forces) acting on each DEM particle, and handles its
storage during the simulation. Data is saved in the
$caseDir/CFD/particleProbes/startTime directory, where {startTime} is the time
at which the simulation is started (this avoids unwanted deletion of
particleProbe data).
[Restrictions:]
none
[Related commands:]
The following force models are currently enabled for particle probing:
Archimedes, ArchimedesIB, BeetstraDrag, DiFeliceDrag, GidaspowDrag,
KochHillDrag, SchillerNaumannDrag, ShirgaonkarIB, virtualMassForce,
"gradPForce"_forceModel_gradPForce.html, "viscForce"_forceModel_viscForce.html,
"MeiLift"_forceModel_MeiLift.html, that is most of the forceModels, see the
{src} directory for details, i.e. use
grep -r 'probeM(' ./ :pre
in a CLI terminal.
