Re: R: Re: R: Re: Contact detection

 

Hi Vaclav,

I am not against ESyS-Particle and LAMMPS! I just don't know the method they use for contact detection. Thus I just give information about what I know.

Best,

Luc

Hi Chiara,

I give you below some references, I never spent time to read them, but I think you can find usefull information:

** General about algorithmic:
Knut, D.E. 1973 The art of computer programming, chap. 3, Sorting and Searching. Reading Mass, USA: Addison Wesley.

** General about algorithmic applied to DEM:
O'Connor, R. M. 1996 A distributed discrete element modeling environment - algorithms, implementation and applications. PhD Thesis, MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

** Grid subdivision:
Allen, M.P. & Tildesley, D.J. 1987 computer simulations of liquids.

** Quicksort or Heapsort
see the reference above: O'Connor 1996.

If you want a code where you can make comparisons between detection by grid or detection from a quicksort there is SDEC (I think I made a mistake in my previous mail: quicksort is implemented in SDEC (with grid detection) and not the method "check everything with everything").

Giving SDEC as benchmark is not really fair; nothing against Frederic,
but as far as I know computing is not his strongest point. SDEC was
developed in the 90s and since then, there were quite advances in the
algorithm fields.

We do have a quicksort collider in yade, see
http://yade.wikia.com/wiki/Colliders_performace.
I imagine that there are other codes but I don't know them.
ESyS-Particle and LAMMPS were mentioned several times on this mailing
list recently. Is that a "not invented here" syndrome?
