An investigation of the effect of aspect and compression ratios on sediment dispersion using discrete element modelling
We use discrete element modelling to simulate a system of sand being released underwater, similar to the process of releasing sediment tailings back into the sea in nodule harvesting, in 2D. The force model includes concentration-dependent drag, buoyancy, ‘added mass’ and Stokeslet disturbance. For...
