===FEM-DEM===
 
Following the work by Munjiza and Owen, the combined finite-discrete element method has been further developed to various irregular and deformable particles in many applications including pharmaceutical tableting,<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Lewis |first1=R.

===CFD-DEM===
 
DEM can also be used with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate particles suspended in a fluid. This approach is called [[CFD-DEM]]. This methodology takes into account the interaction between the particles and the fluid, where the momentum of the fluid applies forces to the particles, which change position and velocity, in turn affecting the fluid.{{cite journal |last1=Goniva |first1=Christoph |last2=Kloss |first2=Christoph |last3=Deen |first3=Niels G. |last4=Kuipers |first4=Johannes A.
