[FLASH-USERS] short range particle forces

[Pooja Rao]

Hi Jon and others,

I am relatively new to Flash and trying to set up a multiphase gas-particle
flow, where I need to simulate the drag and lift forces on the particles.
If you come across something useful, it would be great if you can share it
here. Thanks!

Pooja
