abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">How to effectively simulate the interaction between fluid and solid elements
of different sizes remains to be challenging. The discrete element method (DEM) has
been used to deal with the interactions between solid elements of various shapes and
sizes, while the material point method (MPM) has been developed to handle the multiphase
(solid-liquid-gas) interactions involving failure evolution. A combined MPM-DEM
procedure is proposed to take advantage of both methods so that the interaction
between solid elements and fluid particles in a container could be better simulated.
In the proposed procedure, large solid elements are discretized by the DEM, while
the fluid motion is computed using the MPM. The contact forces between solid elements
and rigid walls are calculated using the DEM. The interaction between solid
elements and fluid particles are calculated via an interfacial scheme within the MPM
framework. With a focus on the boundary condition effect, the proposed procedure is
illustrated by representative examples, which demonstrates its potential for a certain
type of engineering problems.</p>},
