voidfractionModel IB command :h3
[Syntax:]
Defined in "couplingProperties"_CFDEMcoupling_dicts.html#couplingProperties
dictionary.
voidfractionModel IB;
IBProps
\{
maxCellsPerParticle number1;
alphaMin number2;
scaleUpVol number3;
\} :pre
{number1} = maximum number of cells covered by a particle (search will fail when more than {number1} cells are covered by the particle) :ulb,l
{number2} = minimum limit for voidfraction :l
{number3} = diameter of the particle's representation is artificially increased according to {number3} * Vparticle, volume remains unaltered! :l
:ule
[Examples:]
voidfractionModel IB;
IBProps
\{
maxCellsPerParticle 1000;
alphaMin 0.10;
scaleUpVol 5.0;
\} :pre
[Description:]
The IB voidFraction model is supposed to be used when a particle (or its representation) is bigger than a CFD cell. The voidfraction field is set in those cell whose centres are inside the particle. The model is specially designed for cfdemSolverIB and creates a smooth transition of the voidfraction at the particle surface. Cells which are only partially covered by solid are marked by voidfraction values between 0 and 1 respectively.
The region of influence of a particle can be increased artificially by "scaleUpVol", which blows up the particles, but keeps their volume (for voidfraction calculation) constant.
Code of this sub-model contributed by Alice Hager, JKU.
