Computer Simulation Modeling of an Inhomogeneous Medium with Ellipse-Shaped Irregular Elements

Abstract

The article substantiates the main possibilities of filling with irregular bodies, and provides a visual analysis of the parameters formed as a result of structures. It was found out that the form factor acts as the main indicator of the characteristic parameter of changes in the structure and all other parameters of an inhomogeneous medium. It was also found out that when filling a container with irregular ellipsoid elements, the conditions for non-opening (one-way contact) must be met. The obtained calculations of the form factor show the minimum value of the average coordination number of an inhomogeneous medium. This allows us to assert and predict reliable modelling results (± 2-3%). It is also important that the developed simulation model for modelling an inhomogeneous medium using an irregular (ellipsoid) shape of elements can significantly reduce the time spent on conducting field experiments, as well as simulate irregular elements with different shape factors.
