Summary
The course introduces students to the numerical simulation method of discrete elements (DEM). In the course of the study the students will get acquainted with the basic classification of particulate matter and with the determination of input parameters for DEM based on the mechanical-physical properties of particulate matter. The whole process of numerical modeling including calibration and validation procedures is gradually described. The whole theoretical basis of modeling is applied at the end of the course to process systems in the field of geological engineering and treatment.
