twoPhaseEulerFoam/laminar/fluidisedBed filterProperties, filter not recognized
I am a novice OpenFOAM (v3.0+, windows) user but have successfully navigated many tutorials and modifications to those tutorials. I am experimenting with fluidised beds and I successfully ran the twoPhaseEulerFoam/laminar/fluidisedBed tutorial. Fascinating demo! The issue is, when I tried to add a filter using filterProperties in the constant directory, the filter has no affect. It is as if it is not being recognized. I used the filterProperties file as described in the enclosed tutorial. Also attached is the filterProperties file. I would like to experiment with "phase exclusion" in fluidised beds, letting the fluid pass and excluding the particles at different levels. If filterProperties is not the correct method to accomplish this, is there another method, such as a patch or other? Thank you. Jody Augustine. Report_twoPhaseEuler.pdffilterProperties
