Hi all. I want to calculate the grinding of fluoroplast particles. Is it possible to carry out such an analysis in fluent without resorting to rocky dem.

I want to calculate a whirlpool mill where particles enter and are crushed by the rotation of the rotor inside. In the results, I need to see what size particles come out and also their volume.

If you can do it in flute, tell me briefly the sequence?

1. There will be only dispersed particles at the entrance.
2. Outlet atmospheric pressure.

How to set their crushing?

Thank you.

Anyone can tell?

Hello,

I think you need Rocky to model crushing. I don't recall any particle models in Fluent that can do that.

It's possible with a lot of UDF coding and very good understanding of how the Fluent models work. I really don't recommend going down that route and I have someone to do the coding and understand the models. I'd use Rocky!

Thanks guys!
