Validation and Benchmark Dataset for Discrete Element Method Simulations

<p>Verification and Benchmark Dataset for Discrete Element Method Simulations<br>v3 (05/02/2024)<br>Authors: Jose Salomon, Fernando Patino-Ramirez, Catherine O'Sullivan<br>https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10160309<br>Contact: jjs19@ic.ac.uk<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Description of the repository:</p> <p>This repository contains a collection of datafiles and scripts that can be employed to validate and benchmark new or existing DEM codes.&nbsp;<br>Two validation cases/folders are considered "FCC_packing" and "Rolling_clump". The benchmark dataset is provided in the "Toyoura_sh" folder.<br>All datafiles and scripts are in the corresponding *.zip files. A detailed description of all cases can be found in the related article.</p> <p>In each of these folders, two sub-folders can be found: (1)"Data" and (2)"Scripts". These folders contain:</p> <p>1)"Data": contains the datafiles to perform the validation or benchmark. Two types of data/folders can be found here: "Raw" and "Filtered".<br>The "Raw" folder contains raw data only. The "Filtered" data contains the post-processed data employed to generate the plots found in the related article.<br>Plots in the related article can be reproduced by using the MATLAB files found in the corresponding data folder.</p> <p>2)"Scripts": contains the LAMMPS scripts used to generate the data files contained in "Data".<br>Indications about how to run these scripts can be found in the "README.txt" file in each folder.</p> <p>In order to reproduce the simulations of this repository, LAMMPS must be built including the "GRANULAR" and "RIGID" packages. Please check the README.txt files in each folder for details.</p>
