Optimizing EDEM Simulation for Mud and Limestone Particles
Hello Community,
I am currently working on simulating mud flowing through a chute using EDEM software. My simulation involves two types of particles:
- Mud (Limestone + Water) with a particle size of d < 4 mm.
- Dry Limestone with a particle size of d < 4 mm.
The flow material consists of 20% Mud and 80% Dry Limestone. However, I am facing challenges with the simulation time, which is extremely high, making it difficult to proceed efficiently.
To simulate the cohesive behavior of the particles, I have applied a JKR coefficient of 15 to both particle types and utilized the JKR model to account for their physical interactions.
I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to reduce the simulation time without compromising the accuracy of the results. I have attached my simulation deck for reference, and I would be grateful if someone could take a look and provide insights or suggestions.
Thank you very much for your time and support!
Best regards,
