* UDF for KAPSEL[#sb525d43]

- 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.
-- English: &ref(Tutorial/udf_spec_eng.pdf);
-- Japanese: &ref(Tutorial/UDF_Spec_jpn.pdf);

- 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)
