Dynamic Domain Decomposition Applied to Hopper discharge Simulation by discrete Element Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents the development of dynamic domain decomposition applied to hopper discharge simulation by the discrete element method (DEM). Parallel neighbour search algorithm, non-blocking interprocessor communication and dynamic load balancing are implemented in the DEM code. Parallel speed-up analysis is performed solving the complex hopper discharge problems containing 100000 and 300000 particles. The influence of the granular flow character on the load balance is investigated.

Discrete Element Modeling of Dynamic Compaction with Different Tamping Condition
Dynamic Compaction (DC) is a common deep compaction method that is usually used for densification of coarse-grained soils. Although traditional continuum-based models such as the Finite Element Method can be successfully applied for assessment of stress distributions or deformations induced by DC, they are typically not adequate for capturing the grain scale mechanisms of soil behavior under im...
متن کاملFree and Forced Transverse Vibration Analysis of Moderately Thick Orthotropic Plates Using Spectral Finite Element Method
In the present study, a spectral finite element method is developed for free and forced transverse vibration of Levy-type moderately thick rectangular orthotropic plates based on first-order shear deformation theory. Levy solution assumption was used to convert the two-dimensional problem into a one-dimensional problem. In the first step, the governing out-of-plane differential equations are tr...

متن کاملEffects of vertical vibration on hopper flows of granular material
The discharge of granular material from a hopper subject to vertical sinusoidal oscillations was investigated using experiments and discrete element computer simulations. With the hopper exit closed, side-wall convection cells are observed, oriented such that particles move up along the inclined walls of the hopper and down at the center line. The convection cells are a result of the granular b...
