Special handling of gravity

The gravity set on the DEM side by the enable_gravity command is transferred to and also applied on the CFD side when using twoWaySocket. The user may overrule this setting by providing a different gravity setting in the file constant/g.

Note

If using a solver based on a formulation involving p_rgh (e.g. a compressible solver) the presence of constant/g is required. The settings on CFD and DEM side should match in this case. A warning will be displayed if they deviate.
