Imaginary Coating Algorithm Approaching Dense Accumulation of Granular Material in Simulations with Discrete Element Method
The difficulty of obtaining a densely packed granular material as an initial condition is a very common problem in numerical simulations of granular materials. In this article, an Imaginary Coating Algorithm (ICA) is introduced. To avoid unreasonable particle deformation when using a longer time ste...
