Discrete Element Modelling of a Bulk Cohesive Material Discharging from a Conveyor Belt onto an Impact Plate

The discrete element method (DEM) has become the numerical method of choice for analysing and predicting the behaviour of granular materials in bulk handling systems. Wet-and-sticky materials (WSM) are especially problematic, resulting in build-up and blockages. Furthermore, due to the large number...
