Preliminary contact detection algorithm for particle collision plays a very important role in the discrete element model for polydisperse flow systems. In this study
the neighbor finding algorithms of octree were improved using the topology of linear octree. A mutil-octree contact detection algorithm for different size particle collision was developed based on Vemuri-octree contact detection algorithm. The present algorithm is applicable in the polydisperse systems with different particle size distribution
irrespective of solid particle volumetric fraction and particle shape. The simulation of three-size particle collision indicates that the present algorithm is faster than Vemuri-octree contact detection algorithm.
