Macro and micro analysis on coal-bearing soil slopes instability based on CFD-DEM coupling method.

By combining the discrete element method (DEM) with computational fluid dynamics (CFD), this study proposes a three-dimensional CFD-DEM fluid-solid coupling microscopic computational model for analyzing the micromechanisms of instability and failure in a coal-bearing soil slope during rainfall. The...
