Question #256106 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/256106
Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer: >How good is yade when it comes to coupling it with CFD? DEM+CFD is partitionned approach where most of the time is spent for either pure CFD or data exchanges between DEM and CFD. So, overall, the performance of yade as a DEM code is irrelevant for estimating the performance of the coupling, especially if you speak of only 20k spheres in a cube. The only thing that matters is if the code is flexible enough to make the implementation of the coupling realistic. On this aspect yade should be not bad. For the thermal problem I guess you can average the additional balance equations in a way similar to what is done for conventional CFD. I would consider openFOAM for such coupling, as in Feng Chen's work. https://sites.google.com/site/fchen3/home Bruno -- You received this question notification because you are a member of yade-users, which is an answer contact for Yade. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
