What is MFiX?

MFiX, an acronym for Multiphase Flow with Interphase eXchanges, is an open-source solver created for multiphase flow and is recognized as NETL's primary computational fluid dynamics tool suite for simulating reacting multiphase flows. This software has become a standard for evaluating, implementing, and analyzing constitutive models in multiphase flow environments and has been applied in a wide range of multiphase flow devices and industrial contexts. MFiX provides a diverse array of modeling techniques, such as the Two-Fluid Model, Discrete Element Model, Coarse-Grained Particle DEM, Superquadric Particle DEM, Glued-Sphere Particle DEM, as well as the Particle-in-Cell model and hybrid approaches, along with a specialized single-phase solver for granular flows. These sophisticated models facilitate the simulation of various systems including gasifiers, circulating fluidized bed combustors, fluidized beds, fluid catalytic crackers, and chemical looping combustion systems, tackling the intricate interactions of hydrodynamics, heat transfer, species transport, and numerous chemical reactions. Consequently, MFiX plays a vital role in enhancing the understanding and optimization of these complex processes, benefiting both academic research and industrial applications alike. Its ongoing development and community support further ensure that MFiX remains at the forefront of multiphase flow simulation technology.

What is LIGGGHTS?

LIGGGHTS is a free, open-source software designed for simulating materials made up of particles, utilizing the Discrete Element Method, with a strong focus on applications involving industrial granules and thermal dynamics. The software derives its name from its relationship with LAMMPS, as it has been specifically enhanced to optimize simulations related to a wide range of granular materials and their thermal behaviors, thus extending the capabilities of DEM into more practical industrial applications. This simulation tool excels at modeling diverse systems where the interactions, collisions, friction, cohesion, thermal transfer, and dynamics of individual particles play a crucial role in the overall behavior of materials. It is particularly valuable for investigating various applications such as powders, grains, bulk solids, particulate flows, packed beds, conveyor systems, mixing processes, hopper discharges, and material handling, especially in scenarios where particle-level behaviors are critical. LIGGGHTS has gained widespread acceptance among numerous research facilities and commercial organizations worldwide, appreciated for its open-source accessibility and flexibility in simulating particulate materials. Additionally, this software's adaptability and user-friendly nature make it an indispensable resource for advancing research and innovation across multiple domains related to granular systems, fostering further developments in the field.
