forceModel_virtualMassForce command :h3

[Syntax:]

Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.

forceModels
(
    virtualMassForce
);
virtualMassForceProps
\{
    velFieldName "U";
\}; :pre

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

[Examples:]

forceModels
(
    virtualMassForce
);
virtualMassForceProps
\{
    velFieldName "U";
\} :pre

[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!
