    • Abstract The distinct element method (DEM) has proven to be reliable and effective in characterizing the behavior of particles in granular flow simulations. However, in the past, the influence of different force–displacement models on the accuracy of the simulated collision process has not been well investigated. In this work, three contact force models are applied to the elementary case of an elastic collision of a sphere with a flat wall. The results are compared, on a macroscopic scale, with… CONTINUE READING
