Particles encountered in nature and engineering practice are normally not spherical but of
irregular shapes. Particle shape plays a key role in determining the behaviour of bulk solids …

Blaze-DEMGPU is a modular GPU based discrete element method (DEM) framework that
supports polyhedral shaped particles. The high level performance is attributed to the light …

Mixing of particulate systems is an important process to achieve uniformity, in particular
pharmaceutical processes that requires the same amount of active ingredient per tablet …

Twin screw granulation (TSG) is increasingly used to produce granules in various industries,
such as food, pharmaceutical, and fine chemicals. However, there is a large parametric …

The coating of tablets to prevent product degradation or control dissolution is a typical
process in its production. Coating uniformity is critical for the quality of final product and …

Large deformation near surface excavations and openings has been frequently simulated in
geotechnical problems. Mesh-based approaches for large-scale simulation have long been …

In blast furnaces, burden topography and packing density affect the stability of the burden,
permeability of gas flow as well as the heat transfer efficiency. A fundamental understanding …

During twin screw granulation (TSG), small particles, which generally have irregular shapes,
agglomerate together to form larger granules with improved properties. However, how …

Abstract The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is increasingly used to study the failure
behavior of rock. Despite DEM's intrinsic capability to capture the mechanical behavior of …

The capability of solving a geotechnical discrete element method (DEM) applications is
determined by the complexity of the simulation and its computational requirements. Collision …
