- Content
-
This lecture will focus on methods to combine the benefits of different modeling approaches for granular media, particularly grain-by-grain methods such as the Discrete Element Method (DEM), and meshfree continuum methods such as the Material Point Method (MPM). Such hybridized approaches offer a potentially expeditious solution to the problem of maintaining efficiency and accuracy in granular flow modeling regardless of the complexity of the geometry or circumstances.
- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)
-
The main learning outcome will be an understanding of the fundamentals of granular flow modeling and exposure to some of the state-of-the-art methods being used to implement models of granular flow.
