Frontiers and challenges in numerical simulation of the blasting process using the combined finite discrete element method

Although the accurate simulation of all the processes involved in rock blasting satisfies to some extent all the criteria for a grand challenge computing problem, an incremental progress is being made on both algorithmic and hardware front. This progress is gradually bringing closer the so called rational predictive capabilities based on the combined continua discontinua simulation tools. In this paper, the most promising recent developments in the combined finite discrete element based simulation of rock blasting are summarized and further challenges on various fronts are explained in some detail. © 2013 Taylor & Francis Group.
