Abstract: The article discusses the application of the discrete element method (DEM) for modeling the behavior of spherical particles in granular media. Key aspects of particle contact interactions, including frictional forces, elasticity, coordination number, and the shape factor of spherical particles, are analyzed and investigated. It is worth noting that the proposed methodology enables the study of the mechanical properties of systems with particles of various sizes and compositions, as well as the modeling of their behavior in confined spaces and under dynamic influences. The modeling results demonstrate the high accuracy and versatility of the DEM for analyzing processes in bulk materials, particularly transportation, mixing, and granulation. The findings underscore the effectiveness of using DEM to solve complex problems and highlight prospects for its further improvement.

Abstract: The article considers the use of numerical methods in the SCILAB environment for modeling particle trajectories under the influence of various physical forces: gravity, electromagnetism and friction. The simulations conducted allowed us to study the dynamics of particle motion in three-dimensional space under various conditions, in particular the influence of forces on changing trajectories and stabilizing motion. The results obtained demonstrate the effectiveness of using the SCILAB software as a tool for numerical modeling of complex physical systems, which ensures the accuracy of calculations and clarity of visualization. It should also be noted that the use of such approaches allows us to study particle motion in various fields of science and technology, in particular in physics, engineering and systems analysis. Numerical methods implemented in SCILAB provide flexibility in taking into account the initial conditions and parameters of the system, opening up prospects for further research into complex interactions in multicomponent systems.
