A kinematics-based model for the settling of gravity-driven arbitrary-shaped particles on a surface.

A discrete model is proposed for settling of an arbitrary-shaped particle onto a flat surface under the gravitational field. In this method, the particle dynamics is calculated such that (a) the particle does not create an overlap with the wall and (b) reaches a realistic equilibrium state, which ar...
