Issues with implementation of Law2_ScGeom_CapillaryPhys_Capillarity
Hello everybody,
I'm trying to add to my simulation the Law2_ScGeom_
From the wiki page about the capillary force model [1], I read about the set of 10 files to be generated in order to make the engine work. When analysing the given matlab scripts to generate them, I wasn't able to fully understand one of the adjustable parameters, that is to say the so-called "rRatioVec". Does it represent the ratio between the curvature radii? Is its lenght (i.e. 10, corresponding to the number of generated files) adjustable? Should I tune the ratio values following my own simulation conditions? (e.g. considering my own value of contact angle?)
Moreover, I couldn't understand why in the given example of a YADE script implementing the capillary force [2], the capillary pressure is set to 10k through the following command:
***
O.engines=
***
Isn't the capillary pressure value discretized and changed through the Young-Laplace equation solution scripts? I can't understand the reason why it should be fixed, since during the liquid bridge strecthing its value should change, shouldn't it?
I hope I made myself clear, thank you very much with any possible help!
Cheers,
Giovanni Lorenzon
