Discrete Element Modelling In this version of OpenFOAM an implementation of the discrete element method (DEM) has been introduced for particle simulations. The implementation of DEM includes the following features. runs efficiently in parallel with no restriction on the shape or size of mesh cells, and with interactions occurring between […]
An approach has been developed to run simulations involving complex physics to steady-state, quickly and reliably. The method is local-time stepping (LTS), in which the time step is manipulated for each individual cell in the mesh, making it as high as possible to enable the simulation to reach steady-state quickly. […]
A new surface film modelling library offers the capability to predict the complex behaviour of thin films with optional coupling to the bulk flow, both continuum and discrete (particle) phases, in parallel. The film equations are solved on a separate mesh region, typically defined at a surface region of a […]
