Abstract

We present the implementation of two advanced capillary bridge approximations within the Discrete Element Method (DEM) framework of the open-source code MercuryDPM. While MercuryDPM already includes a simplified version of the Willett approximation, our work involves implementing both the classical Willett approximation and the recently published Bagheri approximation in MercuryDPM. Through detailed descriptions and illustrative simulations using a two-particle collision model, we demonstrate the enhanced accuracy and capabilities of these approximations in capturing the complex dynamics of wet granular matter.
