Four: Mixing in rotating drum

Four: Mixing in rotating drumWe investigate mixing mechanism in a rotating drum operating in rolling regime. To this end, a drum with the diameter of 0.2 m and depth of 0.03 m is half-filled with 19000 3-mm spherical particles. Rotation speed of the drum is 10 RPM. This rotation speed…

Three: Conical Hopper

Three: Conical HopperThe flow of spherical particles in a conical hopper with the cone angle 45° is studied. Density and size of particles are 2500 kg/m3 and 9 mm, respectively. Diameter of the hopper is 20 cm and diameter of the exit orifice is 8 cm. A wide, flat wide…

cemfDEM® tutorial One: Packing of particles

cemfDEM® tutorial One: Packing of particlesPacking of spheres: In this DEM simulation, we create a random packed bed of spheres in a cylindrical container with the diameter of 15 cm and length of 20 cm. To create this bed, 8000 7-mm spherical particles with the density of 2500 kg/m3 are…

reactingFoam: Sandia D flame tutorial

reactingFoam: Sandia D flame tutorialYou will learn how to use reactingFOAM solver to simulate a turbulent combustion of methane in air. The simulation is based on the combustion of methane in the Sandia D flame benchmark. reactingFoam is a transient solver for simulating compressible, laminar/turbulent reactive systems. This solver uses stoichiometry expressions and kinetic data of…
