چکیده
The following work presents a way to simulate the nano-particle behavior in a flow by coupling the Lattice Boltzmann Method to a rigid body physics engine. By extending the basic fluid simulation for the treatment of curved particle surfaces and by a force interaction method, the fluid forces acting on the nano-particles can be calculated. With this force interaction between the fluid and the particles and the use of the rigid body physics engine, the movement and collision behavior of nano-particles in a flow can be simulated. Additionally, this coupled simulation system is able to calculate the internal particle forces in the connections between sintered particles, which could break due to the forces of a shear flow. Therefore a prediction of possible break-ups becomes possible.
