We are pleased to release OpenQBMM 5.0.0 for OpenFOAM 7. Notable changes in this release: A new size-velocity quadrature algorithm has been implemented relying on the hyperbolic conditional quadrature method of moments (HyCQMOM). This approach allows the description of particulate flows over a wide range of volume fractions, incorporating the effect of size distribution. The […]
