Abstract: A model for the flow of fluids with particles in them is introduced. It relies on the coupling of discretely represented particles and a fluid pressure field that is given by a continuum description — a local Darcy law. In order to validate the qualitative behavior of the model, it is applied to simulate two different sedimentation processes. These processes include an initially homogeneous sedimenting bed of particles and a fluid bubble rising through a sedimenting field of particles. Agreement with experiments is observed on the qualitative level.
