Abstract :
[en] This paper presents the enhanced design of the Discrete Particle Method (DPM), a simulation tool which provides high quality and fast simulations to solve a broad range industrial processes involving granular materials. It enables to resolve mechanical and thermodynamics problems through different simulation modules (motions, chemical conversion). This new design allows to transparently couple the simulation modules in parallel execution. It relies on a unified interface and timebase of the simulation modules and a flexible decomposition in cells of the simulation space. Experimental results study the behavior of the Orthogonal Recursive Bisection (ORB) partitioning algorithm. A good scalability is achieved as the parallel execution on a distributed platform provides a 17-times speedup using 64 processes.
