Fast spot-based multiscale simulations of granular drainage

We develop a multiscale simulation method for dense granular drainage, based on the recently proposed spot model, where the particle packing flows by local collective displacements in response to diffusing “spots” of interstitial free volume. By comparing with discrete-element method (DEM) simulatio...
