forceModel_MeiLift command :h3

[Syntax:]

Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.

forceModels
(
    MeiLift
);
MeiLiftProps
\{
    velFieldName "U";
    densityFieldName "density";
\}; :pre

{U} = name of the finite volume fluid velocity field :ulb,l
{density} = name of the finite volume fluid density field :l
:ule

[Examples:]

forceModels
(
    MeiLift
);
MeiLiftProps
\{
    velFieldName "U";
    densityFieldName "rho";
\} :pre

[Description:]

The force model performs the calculation of forces (e.g. fluid-particle interaction forces) acting on each DEM particle. The MeiLift model calculates the lift force for each particle based on Loth and Dorgan (2009)

[Restrictions:]

None.
