IntroductionWhat is DEM

Advantages
Few equations which have to be solved for each object
Forces and motions can be investigated for each single object
in the middle of system, which are usually not measureable
Limits in usage
Real particle systems consists of billions of elements
All-embracing description not feasible
Compromises by system simplifications – partially difficult to get
conclusions about the system behavior of real, large production
plants

DEM - organization
Neighborhood search- Determination of interacting particle pairs
- Wall dependencies
Force calculation- Calculation of forces acting on particles
Integration- transient dependencies of particle dynamics
IntroductionBasics
12
Neighbourhood search
Finding surfaces and volumes in contact with each other
If no contact exists – exceptionally Newton„s second law
At contact – solution of Newton and force displacement law
Basis: an efficient algorithm for contact search of polygonal
constructed particles – for identical particles “spatial
hashing”
Naive neighborhood search is time consuming due to complex
system structure

Particle interactions
Description of single particles interactions with each other and with
their vicinity/wall
Description by so-called contact models
Basis is the force displacement law
Hard-Sphere and Soft-Sphere(momentum based exchange forces) (contact forces)
IntroductionBasics
14
Contact models
At the contact of particles an overlap at the contact area is allowed
(Soft-sphere)
Choice of approach depends on particle velocities –
- low velocities: soft sphere
- high velocities: hard sphere
Hard-sphere approach fails in prediction at low particle velocities and
long contact times
At low contact times (high particle
velocities) the time step resolution
to handle particle contacts increases
for the Soft-sphere approach
- Correspondingly more time steps
and longer calculation time

Hertz-Mindlin contact modell(with and without slip)
- Hertz (Journal of Applied Mechanics 1949)
- Approximation of particle impact like a dash pot, non-linear
- Interconection of springs and dash pots in series
- only for sheres in contact
IntroductionBasics
16
Linear-Spring contact modell
- Extention of Hertz-Model by Cundal 1979
- Simplified solution method – faster in calculation
- Partially based on non-physical models (spring stiffness)
IntroductionBasics
17
Further contact models
For considering various system characteristics
Bond model – strong connection/bond between particle, breakage is
possible, extension of Hertz-Mindlin
Ductile model – Extension of bond model to consider brittle breakage
Cohesion model – Additional inter-particle forces (e.g. van der Waals)
Electrostatic model – Impact on particles in surrounding without direct
contact
Burger‘s model – Combination of Maxwell and Kelvin to investigate
creep processes
etc.

Solid volume fraction estimation
Estimation of solid fraction in CFD grid
- Sample points determine if a particle is contained in a grid cell
and how much volume it occupies
- the more sample points are used the more precise and accurate
the solution
