The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is a calculation method by which a particle flow at a single particle occurs. It is widely used in many fields such as coastal engineering, mining and civil engineering. Specifically, when small particles are taken away by water, pores will increase and collapse due to the soil's own weight, which will cause other parts of the soil to deform. Due to the continuous development of piping, small soil particles are taken away from the entrance, so the entrance is constantly expanding. Once the upper layer of soil loses the support below, the upper layer of particles will collapse under infiltration. Therefore, as the above phenomenon continues to develop, the amount and flow of water will increase. At the same time, this will increase the rate of seepage destruction. In fact, the law of particle motion includes the growth, aggregation, diffusion and crystallization of particles under different conditions, which can be applied to other fields, such as the research of material surface roughness in textile science, the crystal origin and potential self-rotation in electronic engineering, etc. The research of this paper can provide a further theoretical basis and framework for the above direction, and pave the way for the majority of scholars to carry out the follow-up research work. In this article, EDEM (Electronic Discrete Element Method) modeling is used to simulate the movement of particles during the slip.
