Accurate continuum models of flow and segregation of dense granular flows are now possible. This is the result of extensive comparisons, over the last several years, of computer …
We suggest a novel variant of Discrete Element Method (DEM) to simulate the flow dynamics of granular material made of non-spherical particles. Our approach is limited to particles of …
The paper describes parallelization strategies for the Discrete Element Method (DEM) used for simulating dense particulate systems coupled to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) …
