Detailed Description

Inter-particle stress model of Lun et al.

The stress value takes the following form:

$\left( \alpha \rho + \alpha^2 \rho (1 + e) \frac{3}{5} \left( 1 - \left( \frac{\alpha}{\alpha_{pack}} \right)^\frac{1}{3} \right) \right) \frac{1}{3} \sigma^2$

Here, $\alpha$ is the volume fraction of the dispersed phase, $\rho$ is the density of the dispersed phase, $e$ is a coefficient of restitution, and $\sigma$ is the RMS velocity fluctuation.
