Bed roughness

cojua8 · November 20, 2017, 15:38

Hello,

I am working on bed load transport and I need to make a rough fllor by adding particles stuck to it (or something similar)
I already have the kinematicCloudProperties with the moving particles in it.

how can I achieve this?

In OF you can consider roughness through a boundary condition for nut. There are two:
nutURoughWallFunction
nutkRoughWallFunction

but doest that roughness affect the saltation of the particles that hit the bed, or it works only for the fluid?

I am not sure, but I think it depends on the type of fluid particle interaction that the model solves, whether it's one way or two coupling.
