Yade

About particle trasportation and coupling flowengine

Asked by gpiz

Hello to all users,
I am a graduating student, I'm looking for some information for my thesis and I have known your great software.
I hope this is the right place to ask this question.
My thesis will deal with the phenomenon of 3D particle transportation in the phenomenon of piping in the river banks. So the coupling fluid-soil to study the erosion.
I am studying this ample site with the documentation about Yade, and now I am looking for a confirmation that Yade is the right program to do my job.
From what I've read from your comprehensive site I think so, but I ask your advice.
Is better that I install the version "packages" or "source code"? I noticed that in Git-hub there are several pre-built code that I could use; to use them I must have installed the "trunk" version?
Do you have any advice on my project or an order of things to pay attention to?
I thank you very much for availability.
Best regards.

Hi,
Please see the document about PFV and Flowengine

Hi,
thanks for the advice.
I think I've read the documentation about PFV and Flowengine, there was a document in particular that you recommend?
I'm not a professional ubuntu user, I thank the assistance of the forum.

Hi, PFV FlowEngine is coupling deformation and seepage (Darcy type) flow in dense materials.
I don't think it is very relevant for surface erosion. You need another (maybe LBM) model for the free flow.

Hi Liu Cheng,

A LBM flow engine is implemented in Yade. The version is still experimental and in 2D, but it works. This LBM engine coupled with the DEM was used initially to study the piping erosion, thus I may be quite close from what you want to study.
The compilation of the LBM engine is disabled by default, thus you just need to enable its compilation when you compile Yade.

Best,
Luc
