CFDEMcoupling provides an open-source parallel coupled CFD-DEM framework
|
|
combining the strengths of the "LIGGGHTS"_lig DEM code and the open-source CFD
|
|
package "OpenFOAM®"_of (*). The CFDEMcoupling toolbox allows to expand standard
|
|
CFD solvers of "OpenFOAM®"_of (*) to include a coupling to the DEM code
|
|
"LIGGGHTS"_lig.

In this toolbox the particle representation within the CFD
|
|
solver is organized by "cloud" classes. Key functionalities are organized in
|
|
sub-models (e.g. force models, data exchange models, etc.) which can easily be
|
|
selected and combined by dictionary settings.
|
|
|
|
The coupled solvers run fully parallel on distributed-memory clusters. Features
|
|
are:
|
|
|
|
its modular approach allows users to easily implement new models :ulb,l
|
|
its MPI parallelization enables to use it for large scale problems :l
|
|
the "forum"_lig on CFD-DEM gives the possibility to exchange with other users / developers :l
|
|
the use of Git allows to easily update to the latest version :l
|
|
basic documentation is provided :l
|
|
:ule
|
|
|
|
The project structure:
|
|
|
|
{src} directory including the source files of the coupling toolbox and models :ulb,l
|
|
{applications} directory including the solver files for coupled CFD-DEM simulations :l
|
|
{doc} directory including the documentation of CFDEMcoupling :l
|
|
{tutorials} directory including basic tutorial cases showing the functionality :l
|
|
:ule
|
|
|
|
Details on installation are given in the "Installation"_CFDEMcoupling_install.html
|
|
section.
|
|
The functionality of this CFD-DEM framework is described via "tutorial
|
|
cases"_CFDEMcoupling_tutorials.html showing how to use different solvers and
|
|
models.
