Two-way coupling solver and (or?) class
 
Hello,

I'm new to OpenFOAM and I'm trying to build a two-way coupling solver for sediment transportation. This is:

1. See how a turbulent flow affects the sediments.
2. See how the moving sediments affect the flow.

I have already have a code for the turbulent flow (OpenFOAM) and other for the particle saltation (C++), but I need to mix them together.

If I'm right, the icoUncoupledKinematicParcelFoam solver may be modified to do so, and/or the basicKinematicCollidingCloud class adding some of the code I have for saltation.

So I have three questions:

first: am I right or the solver I'm thinking will be useless?,
second: is icoLagrangianFoam a better option?, and
third: am I too lost?

thank you!
best regards
