Two: A DEM simulation to create a random packed bed of spheres with size distribution

In this DEM simulation, we create a random packed bed of spherical particles in a cylindrical container with the diameter of 15 cm and height of 20 cm. Particles are a mixture of spherical particles with similar density (2500 kg/m3) and uniform sizes distribution between 3 and 7.5 mm. In the following, we describe how to set-up a simulation case using the cemfDEM® code.

  • Solver: cemfDEM
  • Tested with: gfortran-4.9, gfortrean-7.5, intel Fortran 2013, Intel Fortran 2015.
  • Model: spherical particles, size distribution, 3D
  • Physical system: Packing of spheres with size distribution under gravity to form a random packed bed.
