Development of methods for storage of simulation results from discrete element method

该项目的主要目标是开发先进的方法来存储用离散元法（DEM）对颗粒材料建模后获得的模拟结果。与现有的传统方法相比，新概念应该能够在几次内减少保存的数据量，避免有意义的信息丢失。从长远来看，所获得的知识将：-由于更精确的模拟颗粒材料时空信息，作为提高微尺度DEM模拟精度和整体效率的重要一步；-可以在相同的磁盘空间上存储更多的模拟-提高DEM在固体加工工程领域的适用性。

The main objective of this project is the development of advanced methods to store simulation results which are obtained after modelling of granular materials with the discrete element method (DEM). In comparison to conventional methods which exist nowadays, novel concept should allow to reduce amount of saved data in several times and to avoid the loss of meaningful information. In a long term, the acquired knowledge will: - serve as an essential step to increase accuracy and overall efficiency of microscale DEM simulations due to more precise spatio-temporal information about modelled granular materials; - make it possible to store a much larger amount of simulations on the same volume of disk space; - improve applicability of the DEM in the area of solids process engineering.
