+## **PhasicFlow: High-Performance Discrete Element Method Simulations**
 
-**PhasicFlow** is a parallel C++ code for performing DEM simulations. It can run on shared-memory multi-core computational units such as multi-core CPUs or GPUs (for now it works on CUDA-enabled GPUs). The parallelization method mainly relies on loop-level parallelization on a shared-memory computational unit. You can build and run PhasicFlow in serial mode on regular PCs, in parallel mode for multi-core CPUs, or build it for a GPU device to off-load computations to a GPU. In its current statues you can simulate millions of particles (up to 80M particles tested) on a single desktop computer. You can see the [performance tests of PhasicFlow](https://github.com/PhasicFlow/phasicFlow/wiki/Performance-of-phasicFlow) in the wiki page.
+PhasicFlow is a robust, open-source C++ framework designed for the efficient simulation of granular materials using the Discrete Element Method (DEM). Leveraging parallel computing paradigms, PhasicFlow is capable of executing simulations on shared-memory multi-core architectures, including CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs (CUDA-enabled). The core parallelization strategy focuses on loop-level parallelism, enabling significant performance gains on modern hardware. Users can seamlessly transition between serial execution on standard PCs, parallel execution on multi-core CPUs (OpenMP), and accelerated simulations on GPUs. Currently, PhasicFlow supports simulations involving up to 80 million particles on a single desktop workstation. Detailed performance benchmarks are available on the [PhasicFlow Wiki](https://github.com/PhasicFlow/phasicFlow/wiki/Performance-of-phasicFlow).
 
-**MPI** parallelization with dynamic load balancing is under development. With this level of parallelization, PhasicFlow can leverage the computational power of **multi-gpu** workstations or clusters with distributed memory CPUs. 
-In summary PhasicFlow can have 6 execution modes:
-1. Serial on a single CPU core,
-2. Parallel on a multi-core computer/node (using OpenMP),
-3. Parallel on an nvidia-GPU (using Cuda),
-4. Parallel on distributed memory workstation (Using MPI)
-5. Parallel on distributed memory workstations with multi-core nodes (using MPI+OpenMP)
-6. Parallel on workstations with multiple GPUs (using MPI+Cuda).
-## How to build?
-You can build PhasicFlow for CPU and GPU executions. The latest release of PhasicFlow is v-0.1. [Here is a complete step-by-step procedure for building phasicFlow-v-0.1.](https://github.com/PhasicFlow/phasicFlow/wiki/How-to-Build-PhasicFlow).
+**Scalable Parallelism: MPI Integration**
 
-## Online code documentation
-You can find a full documentation of the code, its features, and other related materials on [online documentation of the code](https://phasicflow.github.io/phasicFlow/)
+Ongoing development includes the integration of MPI-based parallelization with dynamic load balancing. This enhancement will extend PhasicFlow's capabilities to distributed memory environments, such as multi-GPU workstations and high-performance computing clusters. Upon completion, PhasicFlow will offer six distinct execution modes:

+# Rotating Drum Benchmark (phasicFlow v-1.0)
+
+## Overview
+
+This benchmark compares the performance of phasicFlow with a well-stablished commercial DEM software for simulating a rotating drum with varying particle counts (250k to 8M particles). The benchmark measures both computational efficiency and memory usage across different hardware configurations.

+
+|     Software      | 250k   | 500k   | 1M     | 2M     | 4M     | 8M      |
+| :---------------: | :----: | :-----: | :-----: | :-----: | :-----: | :------: |
+| phasicFlow-4050Ti | 54 min | 111 min | 216 min | 432 min | -       | -        |
+| Commercial DEM-4050Ti | 68 min | 136 min | 275 min | 570 min | -       | -        |
+| phasicFlow-A4000  | 38 min | 73 min  | 146 min | 293 min | 589 min | 1188 min |
+
+The execution time scales linearly with particle count. phasicFlow demonstrates approximately:
+
+- 20% faster calculation than the well-established commercial DEM software on the same hardware
+- 30% performance improvement when using the NVIDIA RTX A4000 compared to the RTX 4050Ti

+| phasicFlow-A4000  | 344 MB  | 480 MB  | 802 MB  | 1386 MB | 2590 MB | 4966 MB |
+
+Memory efficiency comparison:
+
+- phasicFlow uses approximately 0.7 GB of memory per million particles
+- Commercial DEM software uses approximately 1.2 GB of memory per million particles
+- phasicFlow shows ~42% lower memory consumption compared to the commercial alternative
+- The memory usage scales linearly with particle count in both software packages. But due to memory limitations on GPUs, it is possible to run larger simulation on GPUs with phasicFlow.

+# PhasicFlow Coding Style Guidelines
+This document outlines the coding style guidelines for the PhasicFlow codebase. 
+Adhering to these guidelines ensures consistency, readability, and maintainability of the project.
+## 1. FormattingIndentation: 
+* Use 4 spaces for every logical level and block.
+* Line Spacing: Leave two empty lines between sections (e.g., between functions in a .cpp file, between class members).
+
+## 2. Naming ConventionsGeneral Naming: 
+* All names should start with lowercase letters, except for special names (e.g., Ergun, Hertz).
+* Macro names start with Upper case or all the letters are in UPPER case.
+* Compound Names: For compound names, the first word starts with a lowercase letter, and subsequent words start with an uppercase letter (e.g., boundaryBase, motionModel).
+
+## 3. File Structure 
+* Header Files: Use the .hpp extension for header files.
+* Source Files: Use the .cpp extension for source files.
+* Header and Source File Headers: All header and source files must include a standardized header that describes the project's intention and licensing information.
+* File Naming: Header and source file names should correspond to the class they contain. Aim for one class per file.
+* Inline Functions: Place inline functions in a separate classNameI.hpp file to avoid cluttering the main header file.
+
+## 4. Class DesignClass Member Order:
+* Private members and methods
+* Private static members and methods
+* Public methods
+* Public static methods
+* Enumerations and Nested Classes: Declare enumerations and nested classes before all class members and methods.
+* Special Functions: Each class must explicitly define all special functions:Constructor, Copy constructor and assignment operator, Move constructor and assignment operator
+* Destructor: Each class must have an explicit destructor declaration:`~className() = default`; or `~className();`
+* Interface classes or classes with virtual methods must have a virtual destructor.
+* Virtual Method Overrides: When implementing a `virtual` method from a base class in a derived class, use the `override` keyword. The same applies to derived class destructors.
+## 5. NamespacesOfficial Namespace: 
+The official namespace for the codebase is pFlow. All entities should be defined within this namespace.
+
+### Example File Structure
+```
+src/
+├── componentName1/
+│   ├── componentName1.hpp
+│   ├── componentName1.cpp
+│   ├── componentName1I.hpp
+│   └── ...
+└── componentName2/
+    ├── componentName2.hpp
+    ├── componentName2.cpp
+    └── ...
+```
+### Example Class Structure
+```C++
+namespace pFlow 
+{
+
+class MyClass 
+{
+public:
+    enum class MyEnum 
+    {
+        Value1,
+        Value2
+    };
+
+    class NestedClass 
+    {
+        // ...
+    };
+
+private:
+    int privateMember_;
+    
+    void privateMethod();
+
+    
+    static int privateStaticMember_;
+    
+    static void privateStaticMethod();
+
+public:
+    
+    MyClass();
+
+    MyClass(const MyClass& other);
+    
+    MyClass(MyClass&& other);
+    
+    MyClass& operator=(const MyClass& other);
+    
+    MyClass& operator=(MyClass&& other);
+    
+    ~MyClass();
+
+    
+    void publicMethod();
+    
+    static void publicStaticMethod();
+
+};
+
+// assuming base class has virtual methods 
+class DerivedClass 
+: 
+    public BaseClass 
+{
+public:
+     
+     ...
+
+    ~DerivedClass() override;
+    
+     void virtualMethod() override;
+};
+
+} // namespace pFlow
+``` 
+
+## 6. Doxygen Documentation
+
+### 6.1. Ruls
+provide the documentations in the header files only. In rare cases where you are generating documentations for executables, the doxygen documentation can be supplied in the .cpp file.  
+
+* **General Doxygen Style:**
+
+    * Use `///` for short documentations for methods and members.
+
+    * Use `/** */` for classes and main methods which play a significant role in the class or code.
+
+    * Place Doxygen comments *before* the declaration of the entity being documented (e.g., class, function, variable).
+
+    * Use `@param` to document function parameters, `@return` for return values, `@brief` for a short description, and `@details` for a more in-depth explanation.
+
+    * Use Markdown syntax within Doxygen comments for formatting.
+
+* **File Headers:** Each file should contain a Doxygen comment at the top, including:
+
+    * `@file` : The name of the file.
+
+    * `@brief`: A brief description of the file's purpose.
+
+    * `@author`: The author(s) of the file.
+
+    * `@date` : The date of creation or last modification.
+
+* **Class Documentation:**
+
+    * Use `/** */` for class documentation.
+
+    * Provide a `@brief` description of the class.
+
+    * Use `@tparam` to document template parameters.
+
+    * Document the purpose of the class, its invariants, and how it should be used.
+
+* **Function/Method Documentation:**
+
+    * Use `///` for short documentations.
+
+    * Use `/** */` for main methods which play a significant role.
+
+    * Provide a `@brief` description of the function.
+
+    * Use `@param` to describe each parameter, including its purpose and whether it is an input, output, or input/output parameter.
+
+    * Use `@return` to describe the return value, including its meaning and possible values.
+
+    * Use `@pre` to document any preconditions that must be met before calling the function.
+
+    * Use `@post` to document any postconditions that will be true after the function returns.
+
+    * Use `@throws` to document any exceptions that the function may throw.
+
+    * Use `@details` for a more detailed explanation of the function's behavior, algorithms, or any other relevant information.
+
+* **Variable Documentation:**
+
+    * Use `///<` for single-line documentation of variables.
+
+### 6.2. Doxygen Documentation Examples
+
+* **Class example**
+
+```cpp
+/**
+ * @brief Represents a particle in the simulation.
+ * @details This class stores the position, velocity, and other physical
+ * properties of a particle.
+ */
+class Particle
+{
+private:
+
+    Point     position_;   ///< The current position of the particle.
+
+    Vector    velocity_;   ///< The current velocity of the particle.
+
+    double     mass_;      ///< The mass of the particle.
+
+public:
+
+    /// Constructs a particle with default values.
+    Particle();
+
+    /**
+     * @brief Updates the position of the particle based on its velocity
+     * and the given time step.
+     * @param deltaTime The time elapsed since the last update, in seconds.
+     */
+    void updatePosition(const timeInfo& ti );
+
+    /// Gets the current position of the particle.
+    Point getPosition() const;
+};
+```
+
+* **Function Example**
+
+```cpp
+/**
+ * @brief Calculates the distance between two points.
+ * @param p1 The first point.
+ * @param p2 The second point.
+ * @return The distance between the two points.
+ */
+double calculateDistance(const Point& p1, const Point& p2)
+{
+    // Implementation
+    return 0.0;
+}
+
+/// Returns the velocity of the particle.
+Vector getVelocity() const

+# How to build PhasicFlow-v-1.0
+
+You can build PhasicFlow for CPU or GPU. You can have a single build or oven multiple builds on a machine. Here you learn how to have a single build of PhasicFlow, in various modes of execution. You can install PhasicFlow-v-1.0 on **Ubuntu-22.04 LTS** and **Ubuntu-24.04 LTS**. Installing it on older versions of Ubuntu needs some additional steps to meet the requirements which are not covered here. 
+
+If you want to install PhasicFlow on **Windows OS**, just see [this page](https://www.cemf.ir/installing-phasicflow-v-1-0-on-ubuntu/) for more information. 
+
+# Required packages
+
+You need a list of packages installed on your computer before building PhasicFlow:
+
+* git, for cloning the code and package management
+* g++, for compiling the code
+* cmake, for generating build system
+* Cuda-12.x or above (if GPU is targeted), for compiling the code for CUDA execution.
+ 
+### Installing packages 
+
+Execute the following commands to install the required packages (Except Cuda). tbb is installed automatically.
+
+```bash
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install -y git g++ cmake cmake-qt-gui
+```
+
+### Installing Cuda for GPU execution 
+
+If you want to build PhasicFlow to be executed on an nvidia-GPU, you need to install the latest version of Cuda compiler (Version 12.x or above), which is compatible with your hardware and OS, on your computer.
+
+# How to build? 
+
+Here you will learn how to build PhasicFlow for single execution mode. Follow the steps below to install it on your computer. 
+Tested operating systems are:
+* Ubuntu-22.04 LTS
+* Ubuntu-24.04 LTS
+
+### Step 1: Package check
+Make sure that you have installed all the required packages on your computer. See above for more information.
+
+
+### Step 2: Cloning PhasicFlow
+Create the PhasicFlow folder in your home folder and then clone the source code into that folder:
+```bash
+cd ~
+mkdir PhasicFlow
+cd PhasicFlow
+git clone https://github.com/PhasicFlow/phasicFlow.git
+mv phasicFlow phasicFlow-v-1.0
+```
+### Step 3: Environmental variables
+Opne the bashrc file using the following command:
+
+```bash
+$ gedit ~/.bashrc
+```
+
+and add the following line to the end of the file, **save** and **close** it.
+
+```bash
+source $HOME/PhasicFlow/phasicFlow-v-1.0/cmake/bashrc
+```
+
+this will introduce a new source file for setting the environmental variables of PhasicFlow. If you want to load these variables in the current open terminal, you need to source it. Or, simply **close the terminal** and **open a new terminal**.
+
+### Step 4: Building PhasicFlow
+Follow one of the followings to build PhasicFlow for one mode of execution.
+
+#### Serial build for CPU
+In a **new terminal** enter the following commands:
+```bash
+cd ~/PhasicFlow/phasicFlow-v-1.0
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake ../ -DpFlow_Build_Serial=On -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+make install -j4
+```
+For faster builds, use `make install -j`. This will use all the CPU cores on your computer for building. 
+
+#### OpenMP build for CPU
+
+```bash
+cd ~/PhasicFlow/phasicFlow-v-1.0
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake ../ -DpFlow_Build_OpenMP=On -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+make install -j4
+```
+
+#### GPU build for parallel execution on CUDA-enabled GPUs
+
+```bash
+cd ~/PhasicFlow/phasicFlow-v-1.0
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake ../ -DpFlow_Build_Cuda=On -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+cmake ../ -DpFlow_Build_Cuda=On -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+make install -j4
+```
+
+After building, `bin`, `include`, and `lib` folders will be created in `~/PhasicFlow/phasicFlow-v-1.0/` folder. Now you are ready to use PhasicFlow.
+
+**note 1**: When compiling the code in parallel, you need to have enough RAM on your computer. As a rule, you need 1 GB free RAM per each processor on your computer for compiling in parallel.
+You may want to use fewer number of cores on your computer by using the following command:
+
+```bash
+make install -j3
+```
+

-# How to build PhasicFlow {#howToBuildPhasicFlow}
-
-You can build PhasicFlow for CPU or GPU. You can have a single build or oven multiple builds on a machine. Here you learn how to have a single build of PhasicFlow, in various modes of execution. 
-
-# Required packages
-You need a list of packaged installed on your computer before building PhasicFlow:
-* git, for cloning the code and package management
-* g++, for compiling the code
-* cmake, for generating build system
-* tbb, a parallel library for STL algorithms
-* Cuda (if GPU is targeted), for compiling the code for CUDA execution.
-* Kokkos, the parallelization backend of PhasicFlow 
-
-### git 
-if git is not installed on your computer, enter the following commands 
-```
-$ sudo apt update
-$ sudo apt install git
-```
- 
-
-### g++ (C++ compiler)
-The code is tested with g++ (gnu C++ compiler). The default version of g++ on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or upper is sufficient for compiling. If it is not installed on your operating system, enter the following command:
-
-``` 
-$ sudo apt update
-$ sudo apt install g++
-```
-
-
-### CMake
-You also need to have CMake-3.22 or higher installed on your computer.
-``` 
-$ sudo apt update
-$ sudo apt install cmake
-```
-
-### tbb (2020.1-2 or higher)
-For **Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or higher versions**, you can install tbb using apt. For now, some parallel algorithms on host side rely on tbb parallel library (C++ parallel backend). Use e following commands to install it:
-```
-$ sudo apt update
-$ sudo apt install libtbb-dev
-```
-If you are compiling on **Ubuntu-18.04 LTS**, you need to enter the following commands to get the right version (2020.1-2 or higher) of tbb:
-```
-$ wget "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/t/tbb/libtbb2_2020.1-2_amd64.deb"
-$ sudo dpkg --install libtbb2_2020.1-2_amd64.deb
-$ wget "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/t/tbb/libtbb-dev_2020.1-2_amd64.deb"
-$ sudo dpkg --install libtbb-dev_2020.1-2_amd64.deb
-```
-### Cuda
-If you want to build PhasicFlow to be executed on an nvidia-GPU, you need to install the latest version of Cuda compiler, which is compatible with your hardware and OS, on your computer. 
-
-# How to build? 
-Here you will learn how to build PhasicFlow for single execution mode. Follow the steps below to install it on your computer. 
-Tested operating systems are:
-* Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
-* Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
-* Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
-
-### Step 1: Package check
-Make sure that you have installed all the required packages on your computer. See above for more information.
-
-### Step 2: Cloning Kokkos
-It is assumed that Kokkos source is located in the home folder of your computer. Clone the latest version of Kokkos into your home folder:
-```
-$ cd ~
-$ mkdir Kokkos
-$ cd Kokkos
-$ git clone https://github.com/kokkos/kokkos.git
-```
-or simply download and extract the source code of Kokkos in `~/Kokkos` folder. In the end, the top level CMakeLists.txt file should be located in `~/Kokkos/kokkos` folder. 
-
-### Step 3: Cloning PhasicFlow
-Create the PhasicFlow folder in your home folder and then clone the source code into that folder:
-```
-$ cd ~
-$ mkdir PhasicFlow
-$ cd PhasicFlow
-$ git clone https://github.com/PhasicFlow/phasicFlow.git
-```
-### Step 4: Environmental variables
-Opne the bashrc file using the following command:
-
-`$ gedit ~/.bashrc`
-
-and add the following line to the end of the file, **save** and **close** it.
-
-`source $HOME/PhasicFlow/phasicFlow/cmake/bashrc`
-
-this will introduce a new source file for setting the environmental variables of PhasicFlow. If you want to load these variables in the current open terminal, you need to source it. Or, simply **close the terminal** and **open a new terminal**.
-
-### Step 5: Building PhasicFlow
-Follow one of the followings to build PhasicFlow for one mode of execution.
-#### Serial build for CPU
-In a **new terminal** enter the following commands:
-```
-$ cd ~/PhasicFlow/phasicFlow
-$ mkdir build
-$ cd build
-$ cmake ../ -DpFlow_Build_Serial=On
-$ make install
-```
-For faster builds, use `make install -j`. This will use all the CPU cores on your computer for building. 
-#### OpenMP build for CPU
-```
-$ cd ~/PhasicFlow/phasicFlow
-$ mkdir build
-$ cd build
-$ cmake ../ -DpFlow_Build_OpenMP=On
-$ make install
-```
-#### GPU build for parallel execution on CUDA-enabled GPUs
-```
-$ cd ~/PhasicFlow/phasicFlow
-$ mkdir build
-$ cd build
-$ cmake ../ -DpFlow_Build_Cuda=On
-$ make install
-```
-
-After building, `bin`, `include`, and `lib` folders will be created in `~/PhasicFlow/phasicFlow/` folder. Now you are ready to use PhasicFlow.
-
-**note 1**: When compiling the code in parallel, you need to have enough RAM on your computer. As a rule, you need 1 GB free RAM per each processor in your computer for compiling in parallel.
-You may want to use fewer number of cores on your computer by using the following command:
-
-`$ make install -j 3`
-
-the above command only uses 3 cores for compiling. 
-
-**note 2**: By default PhasicFlow is compiled with **double** as floating point variable. You can compile it with **float**. Just in the command line of camke added `-DpFlow_Build_Double=Off` flag to compile it with float. For example if you are building for cuda, you can enter the following command:
-
-`$ cmake ../ -DpFlow_Build_Cuda=On -DpFlow_Build_Double=Off`
-
-### Step 6: Testing
-In the current terminal or a new terminal enter the following command:
-
-`$ checkPhasicFlow`
-
-This command shows the host and device environments and software version. If PhasicFlow was build correctly, you would get the following output:
-```
-Initializing host/device execution spaces . . . 
-  Host execution space is Serial
-  Device execution space is Cuda
-
-  ou are using phasicFlow v-0.1 (copyright(C): www.cemf.ir)
-  In this build, double is used for floating point operations.

+## 1. Building options
 
-## Building options
 You can build PhasicFlow to be executed on multi-core CPUs or GPUs. It is also possible to select the type of floating point variables in PhasicFlow: double or float. float type requires less memory and mostly consumes less time of a processor to complete a mathematical operation. So, there is a benefit for using floats in DEM simulation specially when GPU is targeted for computations.
+
 Build options for PhasicFlow:
-* **serial (double or float type)**: execution on one cpu core
-* **OpenMp (double or float type)**: execution on multiple cores of a CPU
-* **cuda (double or float type)**: execution on cuda-enabled GPUs
 
+- **serial (double or float type)**: execution on one cpu core
+- **OpenMp (double or float type)**: execution on multiple cores of a CPU
+- **cuda (double or float type)**: execution on cuda-enabled GPUs
 
+for more information on building PhasicFlow, please refer to the [installation guide](./howToBuild-V1.0.md).
 
-## Preprocessing tools
-Preprocessing tools are used to facilitate the process of case setup. They include tools for defining initial state of particles and geometry conversion. 
-* **particlesPhasicFlow** tool can be used to define the initial position of particles (for example at t = 0 s) and to set the initial field values for particles (like velocity, orientation, acceleration and etc).
-* **geometryPhasicFlow** converts user inputs for walls into a data structures that is used by PhasicFlow.
+## 2. Preprocessing tools
 
+PhasicFlow provides a set of tools for preprocessing the simulation case. These tools are used to define the initial state of particles, walls and other parameters that are required for running a simulation.
 
+- [**particlesPhasicFlow**](./../../utilities/particlesPhasicFlow/) tool can be used to define the initial position of particles (for example at t = 0 s) and to set the initial field values for particles (like velocity, orientation, acceleration, etc.).
 
-## Models and features for simulations
+- [**geometryPhasicFlow**](./../../utilities/geometryPhasicFlow/) converts user inputs for walls into a data structure that is used by PhasicFlow.
 
+## 3. Solvers for simulations
 
-### General representation of walls
+- [**sphereGranFlow**](./../../solvers/sphereGranFlow/) is a solver for simulating the flow of spherical particles with particle insertion mechanism. A full set of tutorial on various possible simulations can be found here: [sphereGranFlow tutorial](./../../tutorials/sphereGranFlow/).
+- [**grainGranFlow**](./../../solvers/grainGranFlow/) is a solver for simulating the flow of course-grained particles with particle insertion mechanism. A full set of tutorial on various possible simulations can be found here: [grainGranFlow tutorial](./../../tutorials/grainGranFlow/).
+- [**iterateGeometry**](./../../solvers/iterateGeometry/) is a  solver testing motion of walls without simulating particles. Since simulating with particles may take a long time and we may want to check the motion of geometry to be correct before actual simulation, we created this utility to test the motion of walls. A set of tutorial on various possible simulations can be found here: [iterateGeometry tutorial](./../../tutorials/iterateGeometry/).
+
+## 4. Postprocessing tools
+
+- [**pFlowToVTK**](./../../utilities/pFlowToVTK) is used to convert simulation results into vtk file format. vtk file format can be read by Paraview for visualizing the results.
+- [**postprocessPhasicFlow**](./../../utilities/postprocessPhasicFlow/) is a tool for performing various averaging and summation on the fields. Particle probing is also possible.
+
+## 5. Models and features for simulations
+
+### 5.1. General representation of walls
 
 Walls can be defined in three ways in PhasicFlow:
-* **Builtin walls** in PhasicFlow that include plane wall, cylinder/cone wall, cuboid, circle.
-* **stl wall**  that reads the data of the wall from an ASCII stl file.
-* **foamPatch wall** that reads the OpenFOAM mesh and converts the boundary patches into PhasicFlow walls (this feature is only available when performing CFD-DEM simulation using OpenFOAM).
 
-Walls can be fixed or in motion during simulations. Various motion models are implemented to cover most of the wall motions in phasicFlow ([see the source code] (./../../../src/MotionModel/)):
-* **fixedWall**  model, in which all walls are fixed. This model is mostly useful for granular flow under gravity or gas-solid flows (CFD-DEM). 
-* **rotatingAxisMotion**  model, in which walls are rotating around an axis of rotation with specified rotation speed. This model covers a wide range of granular flows in which the whole or a part of geometry is rotating, like mixers. 
-* **multiRotatingAxisMotion** model, in which a combination of rotations can be specified. One axis of rotation can itself have another axis of rotation, and so on. This creates the possibility of defining very complex motion pattern for walls, like what we see in Nauta blenders.
-* **vibratingMotion** model, in which walls vibrates based on a sinusoidal model with specified frequency and amplitude.

 In addition to these models, the user can add other motion models to the code based on their need.
 
+### 5.2. High precision integeration methods
 
-### High precision integeration methods
 The precision of integration in a DEM simulation is very important. Since sudden changes in the interaction forces occur during simulations (when objects contact or when they rebound). High precision integration methods makes it possible to accurately track position and velocity of objects (specially when they are in contact). When using these methods, it is possible to choose larger time steps for integration without loosing accuracy and causing instability in the simulation. Although  a high-precision integration requires more computations, but the benefits of choosing larger time steps in simulation can totally compensate it.

-### Contact force models
 Linear and non-linear visco-elastic contact force models are considered in the simulation. In addition to these, limited and non-limited Coulomb's friction model can be used to account for the friction between objects. For spherical objects, rolling friction can also be specified between bodies in contact.

-Particles can be inserted during simulation from specified region at specified rate and time interval. Any number of insertion regions can be defined in a simulation. Various region types are considered here: box, cylinder and sphere. Particles are inserted into the simulation through the specified region.

+
+### 5.6. Postprocessing data during simulation
+
+PhasicFlow provides a powerful in-simulation postprocessing module that allows users to analyze particle data in real-time while the simulation is running. This feature enables:
+
+- **Real-time data analysis** without waiting for simulation completion
+- **Region-based processing** in spheres, along lines, or at specific points
+- **Various statistical operations** including weighted averages and sums of particle properties
+- **Individual particle tracking** to monitor specific particles throughout simulation
+- **Multiple processing methods** including arithmetic mean, uniform distribution, and Gaussian distribution
+- **Particle filtering** based on properties like diameter, mass, etc.
+- **Flexible time control** options for when postprocessing should be executed
+
+To activate in-simulation postprocessing, users need to:
+
+1. Create a `postprocessDataDict` file in the `settings` directory with appropriate configurations
+2. Add `libs ("libPostprocessData.so")` and `auxFunctions postprocessData` to the `settings/settingsDict` file
+
+Results are written to output files in the case directory with timestamps, allowing users to monitor simulation behavior as it progresses without interrupting the simulation. for more information on how to use this feature, please refer to the [PostprocessData](./../../src/PostprocessData/) module.
+
+The same postprocessing module can also be used after simulation completion through the [`postprocessPhasicFlow`](./../../utilities/postprocessPhasicFlow/) utility.
