Sand erosion from seabed

ludosbiz · January 25, 2016, 06:57

Hi guys,
I have a basic question for your attention!
I have read the tutorials and guides for DPM, Mixture and VOF but i still can not realize how to model the erosion of a small part of sand of the seabed near a bluffing structure, under simple current.
A multi-phase model should be applied, but how to define properly the variables and which model should i use?
I believe that the VOF modeling would be best suited for this purpose, but also the DPM seems to be relevant. Any suggestion?

Thx for those willing to answer such a silly question!

how can i add sand in ANSYS fluent ?
how can i define it as a particle not as a solid or fluid?

i found it in the engineering data but i can't us it
