This course offers a practical introduction to coupled CFD-DEM
simulations, focusing on particle-fluid interactions and drag modeling.
Participants will gain hands-on experience with open-source CFD tools
and CFDEM®coupling. Key topics include simulation setup, material
calibration, and heat transfer mechanisms.
Understand the principles of numerical particle simulations, including contact models, timestep restrictions, and material calibration.
Gain practical experience using Aspherix® through both the graphical user interface (GUI) and command line and learn how to postprocess simulation results.
Learn how to utilize features like coarsegraining, nonspherical particle shapes, 6DOF mesh solvers and one-way coupling with pre-defined flow fields.
Work with loops and variables on input script level and find out how to extend Aspherix® functionality via the API.
