6.1.2 DEFINE_DPM_DRAG UDFs (Section 2.5.3)

Under the Description heading, the statement should be modified as follows:

You can use DEFINE_DPM_DRAG to specify the drag between particles and fluid as a dimensionless group ( $\frac{18C_D {\rm Re}} {24}$) as it appears in the drag force per unit particle mass:


F_D (u-u_p) = \frac{\mu}{\rho_p d_p^2} \underbrace{\frac{18 C_D Re}{24}}_{\rm DEFINE\_DPM\_DRAG}(u - u_p)

where


$\mu$ = viscosity.
$\rho_p$ = particle density
$D_p$ = particle diameter
$C_D$ = drag coefficient
$Re$ = Reynolds number
