Formation of Saffman lift force in DPM

      Hi The Saffman lift force for discrete phase is formulated based on unbounded flows having particle Re<1 and is only based on linear shear flow. So, if I apply the model in a bounded pipe flow, then it is bound to give wrong results especially near walls. Is this a correct judgement? Modification to the lift force exist but cannot be selected while using DPM model. Can somehow overcome this drawback??

      thanks
