TL;DR: The distinct element method as mentioned in this paper is a numerical model capable of describing the mechanical behavior of assemblies of discs and spheres and is based on the use of an explicit numerical scheme in which the interaction of the particles is monitored contact by contact and the motion of the objects modelled particle by particle.
Abstract: The distinct element method is a numerical model capable of describing the mechanical behaviour of assemblies of discs and spheres. The method is based on the use of an explicit numerical scheme in which the interaction of the particles is monitored contact by contact and the motion of the particles modelled particle by particle. The main features of the distinct element method are described. The method is validated by comparing force vector plots obtained from the computer program BALL with the corresponding plots obtained from a photoelastic analysis. The photoelastic analysis used for the comparison is the one applied to an assembly of discs by De Josselin de Jong and Verruijt (1969). The force vector diagrams obtained numerically closely resemble those obtained photoelastically. It is concluded from this comparison that the distinct element method and the program BALL are valid tools for research into the behaviour of granular assemblies.

TL;DR: In this paper, Lagrangian-type numerical simulation was carried out on plug flow of cohesionless, spherical particles conveyed in a horizontal pipe and the motion of individual particles contacting each other was calculated using the equations of motion and a modified Cundall model.

TL;DR: This paper reviews the work in this area with special reference to the discrete element method and associated theoretical developments, and covers three important aspects: models for the calculation of the particle–particle and particle–fluid interaction forces, coupling of discrete elements method with computational fluid dynamics to describe particle-fluid flow, and the theories for linking discrete to continuum modelling.

TL;DR: In this article, a combined approach of discrete particle method and computational fluid dynamics (DPM-CFD), in which the motion of individual particles is obtained by solving Newton's second law of motion and gas flow by the Navier-Stokes equation based on the concept of local average, is presented.
