Hello, all. 
wish you good health always.

I am studying "dispersion process of agglomerated particles simulation in wet bead mill". I want to use DEM for simulating solid particles, and CFD for simulating the fluid particles.  

Here is the general concept of the dispersion process: 
1. At first, primary particles are agglomerated into a clump due to van der wall force, 
2. Rotation of rotor cause these agglomerated particles are then hit by solid beads in wet bead mill,   
3. If the collision energy is sufficient to overcome the van der walss force, then some primary particles are separated/released from the clump. 
4. To verify the dispersion process is successful, particle size distribution graph is needed.


I am a beginner in YADE, I have red the documentation and checked all the code in some trunk folders (examples, doc).
But I can't find how to create simulation of dispersion process in YADE.  

1. Can I simulate dispersion process with YADE? From the experiment, I have the particle size distribution of before and after miling process.
2. Can I couple YADE for DEM and 'Open FOAM' for CFD simulation?

 I appreciate your kind response.
Thanks in advance,


Fenfen Fenda
