Jan Stránský requested more information:
Hello,
thanks for some info (although it is still very general).
> ocean structure
What kind of structure?
Some massive, possible to simulate as a rigid body?
Or some not so stiff/strong and also the structure would need actual simulation
(deformation, collapse)?
> the fracture process of sea ice in engineering scale
What is "engineering scale"?
Why do you want to use DEM and not e.g. FEM or some of its derivatives (XFEM)?
I **personally** see the advantage of DEM for the scenarios, where you have
massive fragmentation / crushing and the products of crushing influences
significantly the further process.
For the case of ice, I would expect cracking and splitting of the ice into a
few pieces, which do not significantly influence each other.
Do you have some experimental results or references?
What is / do you expect the typical "mode" of fracture?
E.g. local ice crushing due to local pressures of the ocean structure,
splitting an iceberg into a few smaller icebrgs, ...
How would you simulate water?
Of course, ice breaking can be somehow modeled by DEM or DEM-like method(s),
just some brainstorming..
Cheers
Jan
