Webinar: DEM-CFD coupling – Modeling granular-fluid systems using Rocky and Fluent
March 29, 2017 @ 10:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Coupling between Discrete Element Modelling (DEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a promising approach to model granular-fluid systems, broadening the range of particle-fluid processes that can be managed with numerical simulation. In this webinar, coupling approach for Rocky and ANSYS Fluent will be addressed. Mathematical modelling for the coupling itself will be briefly described, as well as few application examples. Finally, a hands-on demonstration of a 2-way coupling setup will be presented.
Agenda:
1. Why CFD-DEM coupling?
2. Rocky-Fluent coupling approach;
3. Examples of applications;
4. Hand-on demonstration.
