Attrition Model Installation Guide

1. INSTALLATION
The installation of the CCSI solid sorbent attrition discrete element model (DEM) generally
follows the MFIX manual [1]. The present document solely intends to provide an overview on
specific procedures required to enable the Attrition-DEM module within MFIX. Please refer to
the User Manual [2] for additional details. It should be noted that the current Attrition-DEM
module only works with MFIX-2012-1 version.
1.1. Prerequisites
Same hardware and software environment specified by MFIX [1] apply.
1.2. Third Party Software
Open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application ParaView is recommend
for post-processing of the MFIX simulation and can be downloaded from
https://www.paraview.org. Other similar visualization software (for example, Tecplot, Visit) can
also serve the same purpose.
1.3. Product Installation
It is assumed that user has downloaded the MFIX source files and created the entire MFIX
directory structure.
To install the Attrition-DEM module, the user needs to first create a run folder in the MFIX
directory ($HOME/mfix), for example, in LINUX system,
$HOME/mfix/attrition
The source code and the simulation input files for the Attrition-DEM model are available on the
CCSI repository, and should be downloaded into $HOME/mfix/attrition
Move the following files from $HOME/mfix/attrition to $HOME/mfix/model to replace
the original files:
mfix_l.make
mfix_l_not.make
mfix_u.make
mfix_u_not.make
and then copy the desnamelist.inc and calc_attrition_des.f files from
$HOME/mfix/attrition/des to $HOME/mfix/model/des.
Note this replacement will not affect other MFIX capabilities, but only allow the user to
enable/disable the attrition module using the DES_ATTRITION logical variable.
Follow the MFIX instructions [1] to build the mfix executable in $HOME/mfix/attrition.
Remember to choose “[2] Force re-compilation for the question” for “Option

to re-compile source files in run directory” during the compilation. Upon
successful build, a custom mfix.exe is available in $Home/mfix/attrition.

2. SIMULATIONS
The DEM model input files mfix.dat and particle_input.dat are included in
$Home/mfix/attrition/Example. The present simulation is for the parallel run with 8
processors. Users can choose to run the simulation with different number of processors or in serial
by changing the values of NODESI, NODESJ, and NODESK in mfix.dat following [1]. Due to
the computationally intensive nature of the DEM model, it is recommended to use the distributed
memory parallel (MPI) method. The model will run in serial and shared memory parallel (SMP),
however the computations are inefficient and will take a very long time.
Note the logical variable DES_ATTRITION enables/disables the attrition calculations. If
DES_ATTRITION is set to .FALSE., then the original 2012 MFIX code is obtained (e.g. the DES
attrition calculations are skipped over).
