Discrete element method (DEM) approach has been proved to be an effective tool to study the fundamentals of different particulate systems, but suffers high computational cost problem. Recently, various treatments such as parcel–particle concept, coarse-grained model, similar particle assembly and representative particle model have been developed to reduce the computational cost of DEM-based approaches. These treatments are basically empirical and thus their applicability is likely system-dependent. Until now, there are still no general agreements on the formulation of those models and their accuracy and general applicability are largely unknown.
Coarse-graining concept has been widely used to significantly reduce computational cost in molecular dynamics simulation which has very similar algorithm to DEM. For example, 10 million atoms have been represented by 3265 CG beads to successfully model the bending of bio-membrane (Klein, M. L.; Shinoda, W., Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of self-assembling systems. Science 2008, 321, (5890), 798-800).
