Re: [Question #293345]: capillary files

 

Question #293345 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/293345

    Status: Open => Answered

Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Hello,

"r" stands for the radii ratio (greater radius divided by smaller radius) between two capillary bonded spheres. 
The very first lines of each file include
- the r value
- the number Nd of dimensionless interparticle distances in this file
- a number Nuc of dimensionless capillary pressure values

Then, you have Nuc lines describing Nuc capillary bridge configurations in terms of 6 columns with :
- the dimensionless distance value (constant along these Nuc lines)
- a dimensionless capillary pressure value
- a dimensionless liquid volume volume
- a dimensionless force value
- a filling angle on the smallest particle (in degrees)
- a filling angle on the biggest particle (in degrees)

(This scheme repeats Nd times)

If you're interested in these files, I'd recommend you give a look to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/yade/+bug/1440887, and especially #4 that
gives a MATLAB file to plot the capillary files data.
