This simulation system is based on the Discrete Element Method (DEM). For a better understanding of the soft, non-elastic deformation behaviour of wet and dry agglomerates, the models of liquid and solid bridges have been implemented in the DEM to perform a detailed simulation. As a result, the dependency of the restitution coefficient on the viscosity of the binder, impact velocity and agglomerate size and shape were obtained. © 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.endiscrete element methodagglomeraterestitution coefficientviscous forcescapillary forcesPhysikConference Paper10.1063/1.4812090Conference Paper
