UDF †

  • UDF is a text file. One can browse and edit it using a text editor, but it.can be more easily handled with "Gourmet". See the manuals below for general information on UDF.

  • In the case of UDF used for KAPSEL, one must first choose the type of problem you want to simulate by selecting "constitutive_eq" from list below.
    • Navier_Stokes: (sedimentation, diffusion, coagulation)
    • Shear_Navier_Stokes: (rheology, chain in shear flow)
    • Electrolyte: (electrophoresis)
