Hi，

How can I obtain the interface for coupling the LES model in Fluent with EDEM?

The Fluent version is 2022 R1, and the EDEM version is 2022.2.

    Hi, EDEM coupled to Fluent uses the Fluent DPM model, replacing the approximation of particles as a volume fraction with the EDEM particles. On integration with LES it's best to check with the fluent documentation if LES and DPM work together.

    I'm sorry, I still don't know how to couple the LES model in Fluent with the EDEM software. Are there any related tutorials?

    Hi,

    We have the e-learning for EDEM-Fluent:

    https://learn.altair.com/enrol/index.php?id=171

    and tutorials here:

    https://community.altair.com/discussion/39784/edem-fluent-tutorials

    This doesn't specifically cover LES but gives the overview on how to couple EDEM with fluent DPM model, you would have to check with Fluent that the LES model works within the DPM capability.


    Regards

    Stephen
