Blended acceleration model

MFiX
#1

Hi,

In the paper of O’Rourke et al., titled “A new blended acceleration model for the particle contact forces induced by an interstitial fluid in dense particle/fluid flows”, there is a new model developed to modify the particle contact force, which is important for the simulation of particle segregation process. I would like to know if this model is available in the MFIX source code.

Thank you.

Hi, Weber

Thank you for your reply. This document was searched before i created this topic. I think it is an important model for the segregation process simulation. But, it seems it is not available in the MFIX source code.

By the way, do you have any idea on how to solve this problem?

Thank you.
