Process simulation using mathematical modeling tools is becoming more common in the
pharmaceutical industry. A mechanistic model is a mathematical modeling tool that can …

Granular materials are abundant in nature, and in most industries, either the initial
constituents or final products are in granular form during a production or processing stage …

The numerical complexity of Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations generally forces
an idealisation of DEM models, making the calibration process the key to realistic simulation …

The discrete element method (DEM) is a numerical tool often used by engineers and
researchers to design, analyse and improve bulk materials handling systems. However, the …

The parameters of wet sand and gravel particles with different shapes are calibrated based
on JKR contact model. The results reveal that surface energy and rolling friction coefficient …

The discrete element method and simulation analysis of the interaction between granular
materials and implements provide a convenient and effective method for the optimal design …

Bed permeability is a crucial factor in blast furnace efficiency and stability. The Discrete
Element Method (DEM) has been used extensively to model material flow in different parts of …

This paper's goal was to select methods and a calibration procedure which would lead to the
determination of relevant parameters of a discrete element method (DEM) and virtual …

ABSTRACT A discrete element model has been developed to simulate the packing process
of fibre/polymer composite powder for powder bed fusion additive manufacturing. The …

Industrial-scale simulation of the interaction between rice grains and equipment using the
discrete element method (DEM) is limited due to the high computing power requirement …
