Hello everybody,

I am simulating particles in a turbulent flow in tube by coupling EDEM and Fluent. I should use periodic boundary condition. before coupling EDEM I use periodic boundary condition with specify mass flow rate.

When I couple EDEM with fluent, mass flow rate is deactivated and I can just specify pressure gradient.

I want to ask, is there any restriction on using periodic boundary condition and DPM? If yes, How can I specify flow rate in this condition?

Best,

Fatemeh

The limitations are here, https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/Secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v221/en/flu_ug/flu_ug_sec_periodic_overview.html%23flu_ug_sec_periodic_restrict and it looks to depend on what the particles are doing.
