We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

The particle visosity does influence the breakup mechanism. But considering the point mass approach of DPM, it is not a good idea to use the same shear-dependent law. The point masses does not enclose flow within them, that causes shear.

Actually, the code check makes sure one uses the same viscosity definition for both VOF and discrete phase, when using the transition model.
