Density-potential functional theory (DPFT) is an alternative formulation of orbital-free density functional theory that may be suitable for modeling the electronic structure of large systems. To date, DPFT has been applied mainly to quantum…

The Discrete Element Method is widely employed for simulating granular flows, but conventional integration techniques may produce unphysical results for simulations with static friction when particle size ratios exceed $R \approx 3$. These…

We introduce two improvements in the numerical scheme to simulate collision and slow shearing of irregular particles. First, we propose an alternative approach based on simple relations to compute the frictional contact forces. The approach…

Discrete simulation methods are efficient tools to investigate the complex behaviors of complex fluids made of either dry granular materials or dilute suspensions. By contrast, materials made of soft and/or concentrated units (emulsions,…

The steady flow of spherical particles in a rectangular bin is studied using the Discrete Element Method (DEM) for different flow rates of the particles from the bin, in the slow flow regime. The flow has two non-zero velocity components…

In this paper, we present a new model to simulate the formation, evolution, and break up of a thin film of fluid flowing over a curved surface. Referred to as the discrete droplet method (DDM), the model captures the evolution of thin fluid…

Distributed parameter systems (DPS) are formulated as partial differential equations (PDE). Especially, under time-varying boundary conditions, PDE introduce force coupling. In the case of the flexible stacker crane (STC), nonlinear…

The use of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations has led to promising results to unravel the atomistic origins of adhesive wear, and in particular for the onset of wear at nanoscale surface asperities. However, MD simulations come with a high…

Capturing the interaction between objects that have an extreme difference in Young s modulus or geometrical scale is a highly challenging topic for numerical simulation. One of the fundamental questions is how to build an accurate…

Discrete Element Methods (DEM), i.e.~the simulation of many rigid particles, suffer from very stiff differential equations plus multiscale challenges in space and time. The particles move smoothly through space until they interact almost…

CFD-DEM is used to simulate solid-fluid systems. DEM models the motion of discrete particles while CFD models the fluid phase. Coupling both necessitates the calculation of the void fraction and the solid-fluid forces resulting in a…
