Modern theoretical studies of mechanical-technological processes of the process of moving seeds under the action of working bodies of technical means are reduced to analytical methods, which leads to the compilation of complex systems of differential equations with boundary and initial conditions. Among the modern methods of computer modeling of mechanical-technological processes of moving a loose medium (seed mixture), methods based on the concept of discrete representation of matter - the method of particle dynamics and the method of discrete elements - are of particular interest. The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is an engineering numerical method for modeling the motion of many interacting discrete objects, which are usually solid particles. The purpose of the research is to simulate the movement and packing of seeds of small-seeded crops using the method of discrete elements in the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ CAE system software package. The physical models for simulation in the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ software package are: three-dimensional model, non-stationary implicit model, one-component gas (air) mathematical model, ideal gas (air) model, turbulent air flow model, k-ε air turbulence model, isothermal energy equation fluids, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation, separated flow, gradient and boundary methods, Lagrangian model of multiphase environment, multiphase interaction model, discrete element model (DEM), gravity field/ As a result of research, a mathematical model of random packing of small-seeded seeds crops in the container, which allowed to determine the regression equation of its density from the effective diameter of the seeds and the coefficient of variation of this diameter. It was found that with a decrease in the effective seed diameter Dμ and an increase in the coefficient of variation δ, an increase in the random packing density φ of small-seeded crops of spherical shape in the container is observed. This is explained by the fact that the seeds of a smaller diameter fill the voids between the seeds of a larger diameter.
