forceModel_Archimedes command

Syntax:

Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.

forceModels
(
    Archimedes
);
ArchimedesProps
{
    gravityFieldName "gravity";
}; 

• gravity = name of the finite volume gravity field

Examples:

forceModels
(
    Archimedes
);
ArchimedesProps
{
    gravityFieldName "g";
} 

Description:

The force model performs the calculation of forces (e.g. fluid-particle interaction forces) acting on each DEM particle. The Archimedes model is a model that calculates the Archimedes' volumetric lift force stemming from density difference of fluid and particle.

Restrictions:

none.
