Conventional smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) methods suffer from disadvantages, such as difficult initial particle configuration, uneven distribution of generated particles, and low computational efficiency when applied to numerical simulation of shaped charge blasting. In this research, to overcome these problems, a modified SPH method that generates the particle configuration through self-adaptive optimization is developed by the combined application of MATLAB and LS-DYNA. The results presented in this paper demonstrate that the modified configuration method solves the problem of uneven distribution of particles in complex geometry domains by providing a more uniform smoothed particle distribution than the conventional SPH method. Furthermore, the results from the application of these two methods to the bidirectional-shaped charge blasting problem reveal that the defects in the particle configuration in the conventional SPH method lead to the development of main cracks in both the shaped and the unshaped directions. However, with the self-adaptive optimization method, the main cracks develop only in the shaped direction. In addition, the equivalent stress difference between the shaped and unshaped directions, 0.7 ms after detonation, is 120 MPa with the modified method. This is 85 MPa more than that with the conventional method.

AbstractNeighbour search (NS) is the core of any implementations of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). In this paper,we present an efficientneighbour search method based on the plane sweep (PW) algorithm withNbeing the number of SPH particles. The resulting method, dubbed the PWNS method, is totally independent of grids (i.e., purely meshfree) and capable of treating variable smoothing length, arbitrary particle distribution and heterogenous kernels. Several state-of-the-art data structures and algorithms, e.g., the segment tree and the Morton code, are optimized and implemented. By simply allowingmultiple lines to sweep the SPH particles simultaneously from different initial positions, a parallelization of the PWNS method with satisfactory speedup and load-balancing can be easily achieved. That is, the PWNS SPH solver has a great potential for large scale fluid dynamics simulations.

This paper presents a review of the progress of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) towards high-order converged simulations. As a mesh-free Lagrangian method suitable for complex flows with interfaces and multiple phases, SPH has developed considerably in the past decade. While original applications were in astrophysics, early engineering applications showed the versatility and robustness of the method without emphasis on accuracy and convergence. The early method was of weakly compressible form resulting in noisy pressures due to spurious pressure waves. This was effectively removed in the incompressible (divergence-free) form which followed; since then the weakly compressible form has been advanced, reducing pressure noise. Now numerical convergence studies are standard. While the method is computationally demanding on conventional processors, it is well suited to parallel processing on massively parallel computing and graphics processing units. Applications are diverse and encompass wave–structure interaction, geophysical flows due to landslides, nuclear sludge flows, welding, gearbox flows and many others. In the state of the art, convergence is typically between the first- and second-order theoretical limits. Recent advances are improving convergence to fourth order (and higher) and these will also be outlined. This can be necessary to resolve multi-scale aspects of turbulent flow.
