Note: this code is not part of OpenFOAM (see DISCLAIMER). +\*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ + + +CFDEM coupling provides an open source parallel coupled CFD-DEM framework +combining the strengths of LIGGGHTS DEM code and the Open Source +CFD package OpenFOAM(R)(*). The CFDEMcoupling toolbox allows to expand +standard CFD solvers of OpenFOAM(R)(*) to include a coupling to the DEM +code LIGGGHTS. In this toolbox the particle representation within the +CFD solver is organized by "cloud" classes. Key functionalities are organised +in sub-models (e.g. force models, data exchange models, etc.) which can easily +be selected and combined by dictionary settings. + +The coupled solvers run fully parallel on distributed-memory clusters. + +Features are: + +- its modular approach allows users to easily implement new models +- its MPI parallelization enables to use it for large scale problems +- the "forum"_lws on CFD-DEM gives the possibility to exchange with other + users / developers +- the use of GIT allows to easily update to the latest version +- basic documentation is provided + +The file structure: + +- "src" directory including the source files of the coupling toolbox and models +- "applications" directory including the solver files for coupled CFD-DEM simulations +- "doc" directory including the documentation of CFDEMcoupling +- "tutorials" directory including basic tutorial cases showing the functionality + + + +Details on installation are given on the "www.cfdem.com" + +The functionality of this CFD-DEM framwork is described via "tutorial cases" showing +how to use different solvers and models. + +CFDEMcoupling stands for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) - +Discrete Element Method (DEM) coupling. + +CFDEMcoupling is an open-source code, distributed freely under the terms of the +GNU Public License (GPL). + +Core development of CFDEMcoupling is done by +Christoph Goniva and Christoph Kloss, both at DCS Computing GmbH, 2012 + + +\*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ +(*) "OpenFOAM(R)"_of is a registered trade mark of Silicon Graphics +International Corp.
