Question about Acusolve-EDEM coupling
Dear experts, I would like to raise a question regarding Acusolve-EDEM coupling. As we know, the volume filtering method is employed to handle the fluid-particle interaction calculations during coupled simulations. However, if I want to simulate variable-density fluids (such as reactive flows, saline flows, etc.), has the…

How to understand the material diameter of multiphase flow in Simlab?
I have been working on a multiphase flow coupled discrete element model in Simlab recently. When setting up multiphase flow in Simlab, the carrier is water, and the two discrete phases are air and particles. However, the diameter appears under the material subdivision. How should I understand this? Is the diameter of the…

Using moments to calculate FSAE aero balance
Hi all! I am looking for a way to rigoursly define the aero balance of my simulated aero kit: The CFD is run to convergence with wall-resolved y+ of 2.5 average and 3.7 max, 350 iterations, and origin is at the intersection of the front axle, ground, and symmetery planes with x pointing rearwards and z pointing upwards.…

Convergence issues with Acusolve and EDEM coupling
Hi all, Recently, I have been trying to use Acusolve-EDEM coupling to simulate a case of granular column collapse in water. Unfortunately, despite trying various approaches, the granular column always explodes (or bursts apart) in the water during the initial stages of the coupling. Could anyone please help me with this…

Mesh ratio size
hi everyone, case: 2D transient, flow over cylinder at Re = 20 000 - 100 000, SST Questions: What is the rule of thumb for mesh ratio size from edge to area of interest (nested mesh) to global mesh size? Should i use mesh ratio 1:2? For example, edge size = 1e-3 meter > nested mesh = 2e-3 meter > global = 4e-3 meter? is…

Is it possible to input source terms in Simlab?
I am trying to simulate hydrogen absorption in Simlab, mimicking a metal hydride storage reactor. In order to achieve this I need to input two source terms S_t and S_m. S_m represents the hydrogen absorption rate and S_t represents the heat released due to the absorption. In Simlab in seems I can only input UDF's relating…

How to fix the No.of .Boundary layers in Conjugate heat transfer analysis?
Hi , I am currently performing a Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) analysis (steady-state) using SIMLAB and AcuSolve. The MRF (Multiple Reference Frame) RPM is approximately 20,000, and my CAD model includes a universal motor. Based on this, I estimated the heat source to be around 900 W. I used a CFD mesh for both the fluid…
