This tutorial uses the discrete element method to simulate a rotating drum.  The drum is held at a fixed hot temperature of 600K and particles are initially placed in the drum with a temperature of 300K.  As the drum rotates, the particles slide along the surface of the wall and are warmed by conduction.  Radiative […]

3D flow of a mixture of air and solid particles in a cyclone, colored by volume fraction.

2D single phase flow over a cylinder, at Reynolds number of 200, colored by magnitude of vorticity, illustrating the vortex shedding past the cylinder.

2D spouted bed simulation, colored by volume fraction.

MFIX logo placed in a bubbling bed, colored by volume fraction. Illustrates the capability to represent complex geometry.

3D single phase flow over a hemisphere. Isosurfaces of lambda_2 eigenvalues are shown, colored by velocity magnitude, to illustate the formation of hairpin Vortices over a Hemispheric protuberance.
