What is iGRAF?
iGRAF is an advanced simulation platform that seamlessly combines powder and multiphase flow dynamics, effectively linking these two critical areas. This cutting-edge tool is designed to accurately emulate a wide range of powder behaviors while establishing new standards in the realm of simulation technology. Through its sophisticated DEM-CFD solver, iGRAF enables users to conduct detailed analyses of both single-phase and multiphase flows, thereby deepening the comprehension of particle-fluid interactions within a single framework. The dynamic geometry control capabilities of the tool allow for movements such as translations, rotations, vibrations, and tailored motions, which help teams capture the complex dynamics of intricate systems effectively. It also integrates validated models that account for liquid bridging and van der Waals forces, enabling the assessment of how moisture and adhesion influence particle behavior, with its liquid bridge force model validated for moisture content up to 15%. Moreover, iGRAF utilizes the Signed Distance Function in conjunction with the Immersed Boundary Method to proficiently recognize and manage arbitrary solid geometries, providing versatility for a range of applications. This adaptability not only enhances iGRAF's functionality but also reinforces its status as a crucial resource for researchers and engineers tackling multifaceted multiphase systems. Ultimately, the tool's comprehensive features make it essential for those seeking to push the boundaries of simulation in various scientific and engineering disciplines.
