# Simulating a simple homogenization silo using periodic boundary
# Simulating a Simple Homogenization Silo Using Periodic Boundary
## Problem
A homogenization silo is used to mix particles inside a silo using the circulation of particles. A pneumatic conveying system is used to carry particles at the exit and re-enter them from the top. Here, we use a `periodic` boundary to simulate the action of the pneumatic conveyor system for circulating particles. Particles that are exiting from the bottom are re-entered from top using this boundary (`periodic`).

Here, we use a `periodic` boundary to simulate the action of the pneumatic conveyor system for circulating particles. Particles exiting from the bottom are re-entered from the top using this boundary (`periodic`).
The simulation case setup is essentially similar to the [`layeredSiloFilling`](https://github.com/PhasicFlow/phasicFlow/tree/main/tutorials/sphereGranFlow/layeredSiloFilling) tutorial. There is also another change with regard to `layeredSiloFilling`. The exit gate is opened after the filling phase of the silo (see `settings/geometryDict` for more details).

## Problem Definition
The problem is to simulate a screw conveyor with a diameter of 0.2 m and a length of 1 m with a variable pitch. It is filled with 10 mm and 9 mm spherical particles. The timestep for integration is 0.00002 s. Particles are inserted from the top of the feeder at a rate of 2800 particles/s. The number composition of large and small particles is 2:1.

## Setting up the case
PhasicFlow simulation case setup is based on the text-based scripts that we provide in two folders located in the simulation case folder: `settings` and `caseSetup` (You can find the case setup files in the above folders.
All the commands should be entered in the terminal while the current working directory is the simulation case folder (at the top of the `caseSetup` and `settings`).
## Setting Up the Case
### Creating particles
PhasicFlow simulation case setup is based on the text-based scripts provided in two folders located in the simulation case folder: `settings` and `caseSetup`. All commands should be entered in the terminal while the current working directory is the simulation case folder (at the top level of `caseSetup` and `settings`).
Open the file `settings/particlesDict`. Two dictionaries, `positionParticles` and `setFields` position particles and set the field values for the particles.
In dictionary `positionParticles`, the positioning `method` is `positionOrdered`, which position particles in order in the space defined by `box`. `box` space is defined by two corner points `min` and `max`. In dictionary `positionOrderedInfo`, `numPoints` defines number of particles; `diameter`, the distance between two adjacent particles, and `axisOrder` defines the axis order for filling the space by particles.
### Creating Particles
Open the file `settings/particlesDict`. Two dictionaries, `positionParticles` and `setFields`, position particles and set the field values for the particles. In the dictionary `positionParticles`, the positioning `method` is `empty`, which means that there are no particles in the simulation at the start.

### Creating geometry
In file `settings/geometryDict` , you can provide information for creating geometry. Each simulation should have a `motionModel` that defines a model for moving the surfaces in the simulation. `rotatingAxisMotion` model defines a fixed axis which rotates around itself. The dictionary `rotAxis` defines an motion component with `p1` and `p2` as the end points of the axis and `omega` as the rotation speed in rad/s. You can define more than one motion component in a simulation.

In the dictionary `surfaces` you can define all the surfaces (shell) in the simulation. Two main options are available: built-in geometries in PhasicFlow, and providing surfaces with stl file. Here we use built-in geometries. In `cylinder` dictionary, a cylindrical shell with end helix, `material` name `prop1`, `motion` component `none` is defined. `helix` define plane helix at center of cylindrical shell, `material` name `prop1` and `motion` component `rotAxis`.'rotAxis' is use for helix because it is rotating and 'none' is use for shell because It is motionless.
In the dictionary `surfaces`, you can define all the surfaces in the simulation. Two main options are available: built-in geometries in PhasicFlow, and providing surfaces with an STL file (ASCII format). Here we use `stlWall` as a method to provide the surface information through STL files. In the `shell` dictionary, `material` is set to `prop1` and `motion` is set to `none` (meaning this surface is fixed). `helix` defines the screw at the center of the cylindrical part of the shell. For this surface, `material` is set to `prop1` and `motion` is set to `rotAxis`.

### Defining properties and interactions
In the file `caseSetup/interaction` , you find properties of materials. `materials` defines a list of material names in the simulation and `densities` sets the corresponding density of each material name. model dictionary defines the interaction model for particle-particle and particle-wall interactions. `contactForceModel` selects the model for mechanical contacts (here nonlinear model with limited tangential displacement) and `rollingFrictionModel` selects the model for calculating rolling friction. Other required prosperities should be defined in this dictionary.

Dictionary `contactSearch` sets the methods for particle-particle and particle-wall contact search. `method` specifies the algorithm for finding neighbor list for particle-particle contacts and `wallMapping` shows how particles are mapped onto walls for finding neighbor list for particle-wall contacts. `updateFrequency` sets the frequency for updating neighbor list and `sizeRatio` sets the size of enlarged cells (with respect to particle diameter) for finding neighbor list. Larger `sizeRatio` include more particles in the neighbor list and you require to update it less frequent.
The dictionary `contactSearch` sets the methods for broad search. `method` specifies the algorithm for finding the neighbor list for particle-particle contacts. `updateInterval` sets the intervals (in terms of the number of iterations) between each occurrence of updating the neighbor list, and `sizeRatio` sets the size of enlarged cells (with respect to particle diameter) for finding the neighbor list. A larger `sizeRatio` includes more particles in the neighbor list, requiring less frequent updates.
