Abstract: Numerical approaches of the solid-liquid flows were not established so far.This is because the modeling of free surface and solid phase was difficult, furthermore the calculation cost might become excessive.In the present study, a new method is developed to simulate the solid-liquid flows involving the free surface.In this method, the solid-liquid flows were computed by combining the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and the Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MPS) method.This is called the DEM-MPS method.In the present study, the validation of the DEM-MPS method was performed in a solid-liquid flow involving free surface in a rotating tank.The angle of repose and solid distribution were compared between the simulations and experiments.The simulation results were in good agreement with those obtained by the experiment.
