Hello,
I want to inject particles into system from file. I don't know how to determine the value of mass flow rate? What is it definition? Thank you very much in advance |

Hi,
definition of mass flow?? Mass flow has units of kg/s and it is how much material is entering the system per unit of time. When you use a file for injection(s) you define points of injection(s) (coordinates x,y,z), diameter of particles, injection velocity (vx, vy, vz) temperature of particles and mass flow rate. If you plan to simulate continuous injection(s) you define the mass flow of particles entering the system for each point you define. If you are simulating DEM, then you define a stop injection time very small (<simulation time step) and a mass flow such that (mass flow (kg/s)*stop time(s)=mass of one particle (kg). Daniele

I simulate a granular system coupled with DEM. I use this equation (mass flow (kg/s)*stop time(s)=mass of one particle (kg)) to calculate mass flow rate. Time step is 1e-5. The k value of Spring-dashopt is 1000, and the eta value of Spring-dashopt is 0.027. However, the solution still diverge. Any advice or parameters that may need changed? Thanks in advance. anhuang |

Hello,
I am simulating transient flow in fludized bed downer. I suppose to have a continuous particles injection through the upper surface(inlet), but what ever I changed with the parcel release method, I got a separate injections of particles even if extend and prolonged the injection stop time. what to do to have a continuous solid flow? Thank you Dawood Last edited by Dawood Al-Mosuli; August 14, 2016 at 23:18. |
