Hi there! I am new to the community, and today I would like to ask for your help with a problem I am working on. I am doing a simulation of a mixture inside a tank, using a liquid (water) and a powder (solid). My aim is to simulate the behaviour and mixing of these two components, including the presence of air. For this I am using the interMixingFoam solver, and although I know it is mainly used for liquid-gas simulations, my idea is to assign a considerably high viscosity value to the other miscible fluid in the ‘Transport properties’ file (for example, 200,000 cps), to try to emulate the solid, since for external issues I don't want to get into so much trouble with the solid simulation. Do you think this is a good option or I definitely have to use another solver that can better simulate this type of process? I have also read about using Liggghts but I am still studying it, as I don't know very well how it works.

Thank you very much for your help, greetings
