BDEM: Discrete-Element Simulator for High-Solids Granular Flows

Aug 21, 2022, 18:00 PM
BDEM is a discrete element method-based simulation tool for modeling high-solids granular flows that include polydispersity, heat transfer, moving boundaries, and chemistry. The solver provides facilities for simulating spherical/nonspherical particles with modified contact and friction models in complex dynamic geometries defined using level-sets or triangulated files. The solver is developed on top of NREL's open-source performance portable library, AMReX, providing parallel execution capabilities on current and upcoming high-performance computing architectures.
