Discrete Element Modeling of Debris, Ice, Barges, and Tows

ERDC personnel with specialized experience in numerical modeling and river hydraulics can provide modeling services to Corps Districts and other partners to simulate the movement, accumulation, and forces generated by debris, ice, barges, and tows. They have developed this capability by combining the most advanced discrete element model (DEM) with the most advanced Corps hydraulic simulation model (ADaptive Hydraulic model [ADH]) to produce an integrated set of tools for addressing a wide range of navigation and operational problems at Corps locks and dams and commercial facilities.
