Thomas Sweijen posted a new comment: Hello Amiya, As bruno mentioned, the code is very fresh. but soon there will be an example script. To clarify: The merging algorithm in (https://github.com/yade/trunk/blob/master/pkg/pfv/TwoPhaseFlowEngine.cpp#L791) only finds tetrahedra from triangulation that belong to the same pore (i.e. it identifies pores). Once a pore has been identified, saturation changes can indeed be tracked locally, using a so-called local capillary pressure-saturation curve. To come back to your case: Shrinkage of pores is difficult in terms of simulations (expansion of pores is so much easier to simulate). Shrinkage causes water to flow out, this is a dynamic processes and thus dynamic two-phase flow should be considered. In principle, this should be possible with the current code. But, these simulations are rather complex and currently the code is still a beta-version, as I am exploring it and also debugging it. So, you could definitely use DEM and perhaps the TwoPhaseFlow engine, but it is still very much in development, hence the lack of documentation. I hope that it was understandable, if not, let me know.
