forceModel_virtualMassForce command

Syntax:

Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.

forceModels
(
    virtualMassForce
);
virtualMassForceProps
{
    velFieldName "U";
    densityFieldName "density";
}; 

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

Examples:

forceModels
(
    virtualMassForce
);
virtualMassForceProps
{
    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 virtualMassForce model calculates the virtual mass force for each particle.

Restrictions:

Model not validated!
