Summary
Further coupling to a rigid body dynamics engine (PhysicsEngine-pe) leads to the possibility of computing interaction problems with a large number of particles. The parallel simulation of the coupled problem is the basis for the simulation of a geothermic drilling project where the particles, cut by drilling, influence the fluid behaviour. A free surface lattice Boltzmann approach coupled with rigid body motions shows further potential and demonstrates the broad applicability of the algorithms developed.
