Four: Flow pattern and particle mixing in a rotating drum using DEM
We 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 creates the cascading regime…
Two: A DEM simulation to create a random packed bed of spheres with size distribution
In this DEM simulation, we create a random packed bed of spherical particles in a cylindrical container with the diameter of 15 cm and height of 20 cm. Particles are a mixture of spherical particles with similar density (2500 kg/m3) and uniform sizes distribution between 3 and 7.5 mm. In…
One: A discrete element method simulation to created a packed bed of spheres
In this simulation, we create a random packed bed of particles (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 used. In the followings, we…
reactingFoam: How to simulate combustion of a flame by OpenFOAM
You 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…

Residence Time Distribution by Particle Tracing
In this tutorial you will learn how to setup a particle tracing system to obtain the residence time distribution of flow in a T-channel. This method can essentially be applied in conjunction with any incompressible solver, like icoFoam, pisoFoam, pimpleFoam and etc.

Two-phase stirred tank reactor simulation using OpenFOAM®
Two-phase stirred tanks are two phase reactors with enhanced mixing and elongated gas holdup and residence time in comparison to bubble columns. They may contain one or more sets of impellers that promote mixing force and help bubble breakage to enhance gas-liquid contact. In this tutorial, you will learn how…
