Esys-particle couple with openfoam

Asked by Chendi Cao

Hi all,

I am new to the CFD-DEM research area. I want to know is there any tutorials online for coupling Esys-particle and OpenFOAM? My project is to simulate soil and water interaction using OpenFOAM and Esys-partile. Now, I installed OpenFOAM 7, Esys-particle 2.3.5 on ubuntu 18.04.
Here is an interesting paper I found online: Coupled DEM-CFD investigation on the formation of landslide dams in narrow rivers.
Can I get a similar tutorial for that?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,
Chendi Cao

Hi Chendi Cao,

To the best of my knowledge, the paper you mentioned is making use of a branch of ESyS-Particle called esys-foam-dem (https://code.launchpad.net/~esys-p-dev/esys-particle/esys-foam-dem). This branch was developed by Feng Chen some years ago and has been used quite a bit by the authors of the cited paper. They may have further developed this branch independently. I believe the source code includes a couple of examples on DEM-CFD coupled simulations but I have not personally used this branch.

I would recommend you contact the authors of that paper for further information.

Cheers,

Dion

Hi, Chendi and Dion:

Just noticed this thread, as mentioned by Dion, the paper by Zhao et al is probably using a code developed in house by them based on the branch (https://code.launchpad.net/~esys-p-dev/esys-particle/esys-foam-dem), for details please contact the authors directly as I myself do not have further information about it.

Best Regards,

Feng Chen
