Animations

A series of Discrete Element Model (DEM) animations were generated as part of my PhD. I processed the model data and glued the programs using Perl, creating still frame postscript files with GMT and appended them together to make a gif animation using convert.

The animations presented here are those used for the defence of my PhD. The first set simulates the evolution of a singly vergent wedge where a rigid indenter moves into the DEM material. The second set justifies appropriate boundary conditions to generalise the model to doubly vergent wedges, investigates the Normal Variability of the system and investigates the effect of erosion on the Normal system.
