Hello everyone,

Currently, I am working on a project related to the numerical estimation of erosion in a centrifugal dredge pump. Since the volume fraction of the sand in this problem is between 0.01 and 0.1, I intended to use a four-way coupled (fluid-solid, solid-fluid, particle-wall, particle-particle) Eulerian-Lagrangian model as implemented in ANSYS Fluent (DPM model).

For the collisions I want to use the DEM collision model, more specifically the linear spring-dashpot model with friction. For this model, a number of parameters have to be specified, including the coefficient of restitution, the friction coefficients (mu_stick, mu_glide and mu_limit) and characteristic velocities (v_glide, v_limit and slope_limit). Since there is no description in Fluent’s theory or user’s guide how to determine these parameters, I was wondering if anyone knows how to find the values for these parameters?

Thanks in advance,
Wim

you can search for them in the relevant literature
but in my case I had to select most of these parameters empirically based on physical experiments

Hey sfn,

Thanks for your reply!

On what kind of experiments did you base the values of these parameters?

Kind regards,
Wim
