Dear Henry,

As explained by Bruno Chareyre, we developed a coupling between DEM and 
LBM in Yade in 2D. However it was with a version around the 0.50. These 
development are not released so far together with the current trunk 
version, of even with an older version. I am sorry about that. I hope it 
will be the case one day. But I will not try to give you a date (the 
last date I gave expired a long time ago!)
Effectively you can have a look in papers of Lomine in publications or 
feel free to contact Franck Lominé or myself if you've got questions.

Best regards,
Luc

> It has been coupled with LBM, yes (see Lomine papers in publications). Also with the CFD code OpenFOAM (see Chen papers). However, these couplings remained in-house developments and have never been released in the form Yade modules ("unfortunately", I should had). You could contact the authors directly if you want to ask something.
