Note: this code is not part of OpenFOAM (see DISCLAIMER). \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ CFDEM® coupling provides an open source parallel coupled CFD-DEM framework combining the strengths of LIGGGHTS® DEM code and the Open Source CFD package OpenFOAM®(*). The CFDEM®coupling toolbox allows to expand standard CFD solvers of OpenFOAM®(*) to include a coupling to the DEM code LIGGGHTS®. In this toolbox the particle representation within the CFD solver is organized by "cloud" classes. Key functionalities are organised in sub-models (e.g. force models, data exchange models, etc.), which can easily be selected and combined by dictionary settings. The coupled solvers run fully parallel on distributed-memory clusters. Features are: - its modular approach allows users to easily implement new models - its MPI parallelization enables to use it for large scale problems - the "forum"_lws on CFD-DEM gives the possibility to exchange with other users / developers - the use of GIT allows to easily update to the latest version - basic documentation is provided The CFDEM®coupling distribution includes the following files and directories: - "README" file (this file) - "LICENSE" file the GNU General Public License (GPL) - "DISCLAIMER" file - "src" directory including the source files of the coupling toolbox and models - "applications" directory including the solver files for coupled CFD-DEM simulations - "doc" directory including the documentation of CFDEM®coupling - "tutorials" directory including basic tutorial cases showing the functionality Details on installation are given on the "www.cfdem.com" The functionality of this CFD-DEM framwork is described via "tutorial cases" showing how to use different solvers and models. CFDEM®coupling stands for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) - Discrete Element Method (DEM) coupling. CFDEM®coupling is an open-source code, distributed freely under the terms of the GNU Public License (GPL). Core development of CFDEM®coupling is done by Christoph Goniva and Christoph Kloss, both at DCS Computing GmbH, 2012 \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ (*) This offering is not approved or endorsed by OpenCFD Limited, the producer of the OpenFOAM software and owner of the OPENFOAM® and OpenCFD® trade marks. \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
