From OpenFOAMWiki
Valid versions: 
Contents
1 Short description
A minimalistic code and case set-up to show how to use the solidParticleCloud class.
2 Usage
Do the following steps:
- cd solidParticleFoam/solidParticleFoam
- wmake
- rehash
- cd ../box
- blockMesh
- solidParticleFoam
2.1 Post-Processing
Do the following steps while standing in the 'box' directory:
- foamToVTK
- paraview
- In Paraview: Load state baseState.pvsm and click on the 'play' button to run an animation.
3 Physics
The code includes interaction with walls, but no collisions. The particles are affected by drag, but the fluid is unaffected by the particles.
This solver is not to be used for simulations that resemble the real world. It's just a demo.
4 Example cases
4.1 Box
Two particles with different initial velocities are inserted in the field. See above for how to run the case.
