dear,
I am now confused with the function of minCollisionDeltaT in PairSpringSliderDashpot.C
I want to find the primary theory, can anyone help me ?

Would be very interesting for me too.
The formula does not look like an empircial correlation, but I wonder about the strange exponents

Code:

    // Note:  pi^(7/5)*(5/4)^(2/5) = 5.429675
    scalar minCollisionDeltaT =
        5.429675
       *rMin
       *pow(rhoMax/(Estar_[maxEstarIndex_]*sqrt(UMagMax) + vSmall), 0.4)
       /collisionResolutionSteps_;

The orriginal source would be nice.

In addition I would like to learn more about the "collisionResolutionSteps_"
A value of 12 is used in the hopper tutorial, but is that a general advice?

Thanks for any reply.

Did anyone ever find an answer to these questions? I am currently stuck on this topic!
