Granular Flow Project quarterly report, April-June 1985

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5663288

The major effort of LLNL's Granular Flow Project during FY 1985 is the development and application of new discrete particle computer models for simulating the flow behavior of granular solids and determining their rheologic behavior. During the first two quarters of FY 1985 we developed and tested some of the fundamental building blocks of our new discrete models including new interparticulate force models for frictional, inelastic contacts between disks and spheres and a two-dimensional steady-state shearing model with periodic boundaries utilizing these new interaction models. Descriptions of the interparticulate force models, the steady shearing model and a preliminary two-dimensional shearing parameter study have already been reported. 7 refs., 4 figs.
