This requires a factor of the volume in the external force. I will have a look.
I've added something that might do the trick in the latest release. See
https://ludwig.epcc.ed.ac.uk/inputs/colloid.html#external-forces
I'll close the issue.
@kevinstratford Please check the sections 2.5.5.9 and 2.5.5.10 for typos and grammar (there are text duplications).
Reading the paragraph on "Body force on the fluid when colloids are present" it is not completely clear to me what the new default behaviour is when setting a body force only.
It sounds as if the additional force on the colloid (as described in 2.5.5.10) is automatically applied when a body force is set and colloids are present, giving (as we know now) the correct physical behaviour. So simulating pressure-driven flow doesn't require setting an additional flag, correct?
Which situations would favour the new option colloid_buoyancy
?
Ahem. I have obviously confused the issue. I will check.
In short, the behaviour of colloid_gravity
is unchanged (uniform
force on each particle); colloid_buoyancy
is aimed at situations
where there are particles of different size present (and should give rise to different force on each).
There is an additional question I see here concerning issue #285 to which the answer is: there is no choice related to force
. As the previous behaviour was simply "wrong" (the situation was not anticipated), you now get the "correct" behaviour if there is both a force
and a colloid.
There's an example at
tests/regression/d3q27/serial-coll-cf1.inp
This is a separate issue to the gravity
, buoyancy
question,
I think.
I have tried to clarify the html docs.
Hope this helps.
I think I commented on the wrong conversation. I think this is all good now and clear. Thanks.
Thanks. I will close.
Hi, @kevinstratford , I wanna to investigate two types of colloids with different size, thus the different gravity force. But g parameter must be set same. Is there any method to address this problem.
