+# phasicFlow Tutorials
+
+This directory contains various tutorial examples to help you learn how to use phasicFlow for different particle simulation scenarios. Each tutorial provides a complete working example with configuration files and instructions.
+
+
+## 1. Sphere DEM Simulations (`sphereGranFlow`)
+
+The most comprehensive collection of tutorials using spherical particles for DEM simulations:
+
+- [Rotating Drum (Small)](./sphereGranFlow/rotatingDrumSmall/) - Simple rotating drum simulation with 30,000 spherical particles (4 mm diameter)
+- [Rotating Drum (Medium)](./sphereGranFlow/rotatingDrumMedium/) - Medium-sized rotating drum simulation
+- [Rotating Drum with Baffles](./sphereGranFlow/RotatingDrumWithBaffles/) - Rotating drum with internal baffles and binary particle mixture
+- [Rotating Drum with Periodic Boundaries](./sphereGranFlow/drum-PeriodicBoundary/) - Simulates an "infinite length" drum using periodic boundaries
+- [V-blender](./sphereGranFlow/V-blender/) - V-shaped blender simulation for particle mixing
+- [Tote Blender](./sphereGranFlow/toteBlender/) - Double pedestal tote blender simulation with 24,000 particles
+- [Binary System of Particles](./sphereGranFlow/binarySystemOfParticles/) - Demonstrates particle segregation in a rotating drum with two particle sizes
+- [Screw Conveyor](./sphereGranFlow/screwConveyor/) - Simulates particle transport using a screw conveyor
+- [Conveyor Belt](./sphereGranFlow/conveyorBelt/) - Simulates particles on a moving conveyor belt
+- [Rotary Air Lock Valve](./sphereGranFlow/RotaryAirLockValve/) - Simulates a rotary air lock valve with particle insertion
+- [Layered Silo Filling](./sphereGranFlow/layeredSiloFilling/) - Demonstrates filling a silo with layers of particles
+- [Homogenization Silo (Periodic Boundaries)](./sphereGranFlow/homogenizationSilo-PeriodicBoundary/) - Simulates homogenization in a silo with periodic boundaries
+
+## 2. Course-grained (Grain) DEM Simulations (`grainGranFlow`)
+
+Tutorials for simulations with non-spherical (grain-shaped) particles:
+
+- [Rotating Drum](./grainGranFlow/rotatingDrum/) - Demonstrates non-spherical grain particles in a rotating drum
+
+## 3. Geometry Iteration (`iterateGeometry`)
+
+Tutorials focused on geometry handling and visualization:
+
+- [Inclined Screw Conveyor](./iterateGeometry/inclinedScrewConveyor/) - Visualizes the geometry of an inclined screw conveyor without particles
+
+## 4. Post-processing (`postprocessPhasicFlow`)
+
+Tutorials focused on post-processing and analysis:
+
+- [Segregation Analysis](./postprocessPhasicFlow/segregation/) - Demonstrates how to analyze particle segregation in simulation results
+
