Hi all,

I have come across this model in the DPMFoam solver but I'm struggling to find where this code has come from. The "alpha" scalar that is read into the code is not the volume fraction of the fluid and I am not sure where it has come from. Could someone help find where it is defined?

The spring-damper model can be found in:

src/lagrangian/intermediate/submodels/Kinematic/CollisionModel/PairCollision/PairModel/PairSpringSliderDashpot/

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Constructors * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

template<class CloudType>
Foam::PairSpringSliderDashpot<CloudType>::PairSpri ngSliderDashpot
(
const dictionary& dict,
CloudType& cloud
)
:
PairModel<CloudType>(dict, cloud, typeName),
Estar_(),
Gstar_(),
alpha_(readScalar(this->coeffDict().lookup("alpha"))),
b_(readScalar(this->coeffDict().lookup("b"))),
mu_(readScalar(this->coeffDict().lookup("mu"))),
