Hello to everybody,

I need same clarifications about the granular kinetic theory used in twoPhaseEulerFoam.

1) what is the meaning of the properties in the file ppProperties?

2) To avoid unphysichal packaging (alpha to high) do I need to define packingLimiter as Yes?

3) What is the difference between alphaMax and alphaMinFraction in the file kineticTheoryProperties? And the difference between alphaMax in ppProperties and kineticProperties?

4) What is the meaning of HrenyaSinclairCoeffs?

5) Is the keyword equilibrium the switch to solve the PDE equation for granular temperature or to calculate it as function of alpha?

5) What are the guidelines (i.e. Reynolds number) to switch on turbulence models in granular flows (I'm a newby about this kind of flows)?

Thank you for your attention!
