Approximation of Continuous Media Models for Granular Systems Using Cellular Automata

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 3305))

Abstract

In this paper a new cellular automata model suitable for granular systems simulation is presented. The proposed model is shown to be equivalent to a particularization of the well known BCRE model of granular systems and a correspondence between the parameters of the presented model and the BCRE model is also set, allowing to fit these parameters for a given system. The model has the advantage over other cellular automata models of being more realistic in the behavior of the surface of heaps and slopes. The dynamics of the CA is analyzed in order to confirm that it also has one of the most important features of these systems, 1/f noise.
