forceModel_MeiLift command

Syntax:

Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.

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

• U = name of the finite volume fluid velocity field
• density = name of the finite volume fluid density field

Examples:

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

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.
