1. Introduction As the global economy develops, the demand for natural resources is increasing day by day in countries around the world. The Arctic has the world’s largest remaining oil and gas reserves [1]. Today, the extraction of these resources has resulted in a significant increase in what is known as destination-based shipping—the transportation of goods from the Arctic to non-Arctic destinations.

2024 | Buch This book focuses on discrete element methods for arbitrarily shaped granular materials, including super-quadric models, spherical harmonic functions and level set methods, and numerical analysis of the flow characteristics of non-spherical granular materials.
