  • Systems and methods for level set discrete element method particle simulation
    Patent number: 11341294
    Abstract: Systems and methods for level set discrete element method particle simulation in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment, a particle simulation device includes a processor and a memory storing a particle analysis application, wherein the processor, on reading the particle analysis application obtains image data describing a plurality of particles, models a plurality of grains based on the image data, where each modeled grains includes a level set function corresponding to one of the plurality of particles, calculates the motion of each of the plurality of grains based on a force applied to the plurality of grains, and generates a transformed particle model based on the plurality of grains and the calculated motion.
    Type: Grant
