I understand that sand is granular, so I used an Eulerian granular multiphase model.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">To make my model simple, In a close domain, all boundaries are &ldquo;wall&rdquo;, there are only air and sand (Silicon(s)). I retained many the default setting. Please see attached pictures below for my reference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/15-06-2023-1686860911-1.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"248\" height=\"284\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/15-06-2023-1686860935-2.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"291\"> &nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/15-06-2023-1686861693-4.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"373\" height=\"367\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/15-06-2023-1686861768-3.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"381\" height=\"374\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/15-06-2023-1686861027-5.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"262\" height=\"334\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I think it is simple, not complicated.

The sand layer looks stable.

(I think I should use steady because it is close boundary and there is not any forces in a boundary, but the result I did look weird, that is why I ask you this question.)<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for any help you may provide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-289003","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["248439","199","338162"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.146"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["712"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["289003"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","248439","338162"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["9"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["348223"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["348223"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-02-01 11:11:36"]},"test":"kasiditphagmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/289003","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/289003\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
