AB  - For many years, coastal engineers have used computational modeling tools based on continuum mechanics, to model fluid flow and to a lesser extent solid structure deflections and deformations. However, problems in coastal engineering are often concerned with the movement of discrete bodies and there is an entirely new breed of discontinuum modelling methods (DEM, FEM/DEM and DDA), designed to simulate body interactions. This paper considers the range of particulates that concern coastal engineers, discusses DEM applications generally before reporting on some modelling developments showing dynamically interacting realistic-shaped bodies in which the fluid behaviour is neglected. These numerical modelling developments are based on the combined discrete finite element method (FEM/DEM). The paper concludes with a brief discussion on future progress and opportunities.
