PhasicFlow

Hi, A new tutorial on setting up a fluidized bed using PhasicFlow and PhasicFlowPlus is uploaded in the following link. https://github.com/PhasicFlow/PhasicFlowPlus/tree/main/tutorials/unresolvedSpherePFPisoFoam/fluidizededbed Have a look and let me know if you...

Yes, we are planning to add heat transfer to both DEM and CFD-DEM parts. This heat transfer will include particle-particle, particle-fluid and radiation heat transfer. Thanks for suggestion on articles....

In version (1.x), the particle insertion dictionary is transferred to time folders. So, program can track the particle insertion progress and save the latest status of particle insertion in the...

In new version (1.x), you can have geometry converted to separate files (sub-surfaces) by passing a flag (-s) to the command pFlowToVTK. Then, you will have vtk files with sub-surfaces...

This feature is added to pFlowToVTK in version 1.0.

In version 1.x, we can add this option to caseSetup/interaction, so that when this is activated, the program stores the force chain and saves it to the disk.

Do you want the forceChain to be calculated as per normal overlap and hence only normal force between particles are calculated, or you want both normal and tangential contact force...

Well, in this case, you need to create a file and save the results in that file. Later, you can convert this file into vtk and visualize the results in...

Yes. It is a good option. Do we also need to define a transform vector to transform it if needed? For example, the dictionary can be changed in this way,...

I guess we already covered all the parts. Please re-test this new part and see if actually works as expected and let me know. test all of scale, transform and...
