DPM can give an accretion rate, but won't show a packed volume. Eulerian/Mixture will show the volume but not the angle of repose or account for "stickiness": it will show drifts around buildings etc, but I don't have a reference to the article.  I'd have a look at Ansys Rocky.  The Fluent DEM model is not recommended for this.
