forceModel_DiFeliceDrag command :h3

[Syntax:]

Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.

forceModels
(
    DiFeliceDrag
);
DiFeliceDragProps
\{
    velFieldName "U";
    densityFieldName "density";
    interpolation;
\}; :pre

{U} = name of the finite volume fluid velocity field :ulb,l
{density} = name of the finite volume gravity field :l
{interpolation} = flag to use interpolated voidfraction and velocity values (normally off) :l
:ule

[Examples:]

forceModels
(
    DiFeliceDrag
);
DiFeliceDragProps
\{
    velFieldName "U";
    densityFieldName "rho";
    interpolation;
\} :pre

[Description:]

The force model performs the calculation of forces (e.g. fluid-particle interaction forces) acting on each DEM particle. The DiFeliceDrag model is a model that calculates the particle based drag force following the correlation of Di Felice (see Zhou et al. (2010), JFM).

[Restrictions:]

none.
