Abstract
Snow characteristics are changed by climate or region. For the efficient development of a snow blower, stable and quantitative performance evaluation method is required. We try to reproduce the snow removal work using Discrete Element Method (DEM) in this study. In addition to conventional DEM, we developed potential model for reproducing the compaction of snow and air drag model to consider the characteristics of actual snow. And we found that simulation result is qualitatively consistent with the experimental result.
