Force Schemes in Simulations of Granular Materials
Open accessAbstract
In computer simulations of granular flow, one widely used technique is classical soft-sphere Molecular Dynamics, where the equations of motion of the particles are numerically integrated. This requires specification of the forces acting between grains. In this paper, we systematically study the properties of the force laws most commonly used and compare them with recent experiments on the impact of spheres. We point out possible problems and give criteria for the right choice of parameters. Finally, two generic problems of soft-sphere simulations are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
