5 great Rocky Modules to improve your simulations

 

See modules examples below:

/SPH Freeze Outside Region

Reduces the computational cost of simulating projects by freezing and disabling from calculations the SPH elements that are outside a defined Region of Interest (ROI).

/CFD Particle Combustion Module

The CFD-Coupled Particle Combustion module enables you to consider the reaction of coal particles during combustion, with two parallel reactions,  and .

To understand more about the CFD Particle Combustion Module watch the:

Rocky in Action: Combustion

 

/Electromagnetic Coupling Module

 

The Electromagnetic Coupling module enables you to add electromagnetic physics to the simulation, such as:

• Electrostatic forces for particle-particle and particle-boundary interaction;
• Charging and discharging effects on particles due to contact with boundary surfaces;
• Field forces on charged or dipole particles immersed on electric/magnetic fields.

/Bond Model

This module is designed to simulate the behavior of agglomerate materials by using a model which bonds particles together using cylindrical, massless, spring-dashpot connections. These bonds can be broken at any time if the tensile or shear stresses exceed prescribed values. Also, the module creates bonds for particles recently unfrozen by the “Particle Freeze Outside Region” module.

/Liquid Bridge

 

 

 

 

This module enables you to include the effects of liquid films around particles in your simulation. This type of adhesion model can be useful for studying wet particular processes.

Rocky currently has more than 40 functional modules that can be downloaded and installed at any time.
