The discrete element method (DEM) is a time‐driven simulation technique based on a
Lagrangian description of particle motion that predicts the flow of granular matter and fine …

We introduce the open-source package MercuryDPM, which we have been developing over
the last few years. MercuryDPM is a code for discrete particle simulations. It simulates the …

Over the last 12 years, numerous new theoretical continuum models have been formulated
to predict particle segregation in the size-based bidisperse granular flows over inclined …

MercuryDPM is an open-source particle simulation tool—fully written in C++—developed at
the University of Twente. It contains a large range of contact models, allowing for simulations …

This work presents a computational model for the simulation of problems involving dry
granular materials. The approach is based on the discrete element method (DEM), using …

Debris and pyroclastic flows often have bouldery flow fronts, which act as a natural dam
resisting further advance. Counter intuitively, these resistive fronts can lead to enhanced run …

In this paper we introduce the open-source code MercuryDPM: a code for simulating
discrete particles. The paper discusses software and management issues that may be …

Rapid shallow granular flows over inclined planes are often seen in nature in the form of
avalanches, landslides and pyroclastic flows. In these situations the flow develops an …

In the pharmaceutical industry, it is a major challenge to maintain consistent quality of drug
products when the batch scale of a process is changed from a laboratory scale to a pilot or …

Abstract Selective Laser Sintering/Melting (SLS/SLM) are additive manufacturing (AM)
technologies. Objects are produced by spreading successive layers of powder material and …
