sDEM

Participants : Pietro Marco Congedo [Corresponding member] , Maria-Giovanna Rodio.

The sDEM platform is a simulation tool permitting to simulate multiphase flows with transition modelling. In particular, the code relies on the formulation of a DEM method, the use of a complex thermodynamics, the possibility to model cavitating phenomena. Moreover, the method has been generalized in order to take into account directly uncertainty, thus proposing the so-called Stochastic DEM (sDEM) method. This is one of the first stochastic semi-intrusive scheme, permitting to consider uncertainties in multiphase flows including heat and mass transfer terms. This software is developed together with the University of Zurich.
