Question #466297 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/466297

    Status: Open => Answered

Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
Other problems I found:
- I was assuming that the walls were ids 0 and 1 in your problem but it is not the case. You need to give their ids in flow.wallIds=[-1,-1,1,0,-1,-1]; or you append them before the spheres so that they really get ids 0 and 1 (that's what I did here)
- the duplicateThreshold value is a length, and I see that your period size is around 12, so that flow.duplicateThreshold=0.5 is still a small thing, when I set it equal to 2.5 the problem disappears. This parameter (the thickness of a layer in which periodic images of the particles are inserted all around the main periodic cell) should be calculated automatically in a robust way but I still don't know how exactly...

What I end up with is below.
Did you get an initial script by someone else, by the way?
