This article describes the method of using irregular triangulated network to establish DEM (digital elevation model).Based on the DEM model, the article established and gave the relevant models and methods on the water areas and storage capacity in real time simulation by computer for forecasting and controlling of storage capacity and other related terms.

Discrete element method (DEM) is a numerical technique pioneered by Cundall for problems in rock mechanics where the continuity between the separate elements does not exist. Discrete numerical simulations with particles are currently used in several different scientific disciplines. The DEM is capable of handling a wide range of material behaviour, inter-body interaction force laws and arbitrar...

[1] This study attempts to develop a method for the simulation of surface flow paths on a digital elevation model (DEM). The objective is to use a facet-based algorithm to estimate the surface flow paths on a raster DEM. A grid DEM was used to create a triangular facet network (TFN) over which the surface flow paths were determined. Since each facet in the network has a constant slope and aspec...

A homogenization strategy for granular materials is presented and applied to a three-dimensional Discrete Element Method (DEM), that uses superellipsoids as particles. Macroscopic quantities are derived from the microscopic quantities resulting from a DEM simulation by averaging over representative volume elements (RVEs). The implementation of a RVE is described in detail regarding the definiti...

Using satellite cloud images to simulate clouds is one of the new visual simulation technologies in Virtual Reality (VR). Taking the original data of satellite cloud images as the source, this paper depicts specifically the technology of 3D satellite cloud imaging through the transforming of coordinates and projection, creating a DEM (Digital Elevation Model) of cloud imaging and 3D simulation....

The Distinct Element Method (DEM) is a numerical method for the simulation of the behaviour of media consisting of discrete particles, and is widely used for process optimization in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The DEM is very computationally expensive, but has properties that make it amenable to acceleration by reconfigurable computing. This paper presents the design of an implement...

The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is attracting increasing interest for the simulation of industrial granular flows. While the majority of previous DEM modelling has considered two-dimensional flows, we present here a series of three-dimensional simulations for a number of important industrial applications. The charge motion in a 5 m diameter ball mill and in a Hicom nutating mill, discharge fr...

The rapid progress of lidar technology has made the acquirement and application of high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) data increasingly popular, especially in regards to the study of floodplain flow. However, highresolution DEM data pose several disadvantages for floodplain modeling studies; e.g., the data sets contain many redundant interpolation points, large numbers of calculation...

A deterministic dynamic element matching (DEM) approach to ADC testing is introduced and compared with a common random DEM method. With both approaches, a highly non-ideal DAC is used to generate an excitation for a DUT that has linearity that far exceeds that of the test stimulus. Simulation results show that both methods can be used for testing of ADCs but with a substantial reduction in the ...
