Green, healthy and sustainable development is the direction of China’s agriculture, stable fertilizer has become first choice for orchard fertilizer. In this paper, in order to improve working performance combined application device 2KF-30 type deep applicator, matching degree operation scraper auger was taken as research objective, theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, experimental verif...

Simulations of gas-solid fluidized beds have been performed using a hybrid simulation method, which couples the discrete element method (DEM) for particle dynamics with the averaged two-fluid (TF) continuum equations for the gas phase. The coupling between the two phases is modeled using an interphase momentum transfer term. The results of the hybrid TF-DEM simulations are compared to experimen...

A deeper understanding of the milling operation of ball mills helps mineral processing engineers to control and optimize them, and therefore, reduce their consuming power. In this work, the milling operation of ball mills is investigated using two methods, i.e. DEM and combined DEM-SPH. First, a pilot scale ball mill with no lifter is simulated by both methods. Then another pilot scale ball mil...

In the following paper we present a parallelized resolved method for the simulation of the dynamics of immersed bodies within fluids. The algorithm uses the so called Fictitious Domain Method (FDM) and combines the Lagrangian Discrete Element Method (DEM) for the tracking of the bodies and a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method for the calculation of the flow and pressure field of the flui...

A numerical study was conducted using the discrete element method (DEM) to investigate the performance and mobility impacts of rough terrain operation for small unmanned ground vehicles. The DEM simulation was validated using experimental data from two types of single-wheel tests previously published in the literature: straight-line locomotion over flat, level soil, and wheel-digging. Results f...

runoff and sediment measurement is difficult in mountain watershed because of many different problems such as time and financial limitations. so using simulation model is necessary in this regard. accuracy and precision evaluation of models for different watershed of iran is necessary. the aim of this study was the evaluation of swat model efficiency in simulation of runoff and sediment yield i...

Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) including Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer-Global Digital Elevation Model (ASTER GDEM), Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), and Global Multi-resolution Terrain Elevation Data 2010 (GMTED2010) are freely available for nearly the entire earth’s surface. DEMs that are usually subject to errors need to be evaluated using reference e...
