EDEM Lift and Drag Models tutorial Overview
This tutorial describes how to create a one-way coupled particle-fluid model using the in-built Particle Body Force drag and lift models.
The main focus is on:
- Importing Field Data via the Field Data Manager.
- Using the in-built lift models.
- Using the in-built drag models.
- Using the Steady Velocity Flow feature.
This tutorial is based on the AcuSolve tutorial 'ACU-T: 6101 Particle Separation in a Windshifter using AcuSolve - EDEM Unidirectional Coupling' for more information on creation of the flow field used in this tutorial please review the AcuSolve tutorial.
