We present a novel Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) based algorithm for efficiently simulating compressible and weakly compressible particle fluids. Prior particle-based methods simulate all fluid particles; however, in many cases some particles appearing to be at rest can be safely ignored without notably affecting the fluid flow behavior. To identify these particles, a novel sleepy strategy is introduced. By utilizing this strategy, only a portion of the fluid particles requires computational resources; thus an obvious performance gain can be achieved. In addition, in order to resolve unphysical clumping issue due to tensile instability in SPH based methods, a new artificial repulsive force is provided. We demonstrate that our approach can be easily integrated with existing SPH based methods to improve the efficiency without sacrificing visual quality.

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.

A robust modified weakly compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (WCSPH) method based on a predictive corrective scheme is introduced to model the fluid flows engaged with stationary and moving boundary. In this paper, this model is explained and practically verified in three distinct laminar incompressible flow cases; the first case involves the lid driven cavity flow for two Reynolds numbers 400 and 1000. The second case is a flow generated by a moving block in the initially stationary fluid. The third case is flow around the stationary and transversely oscillating circular cylinder confined in a channel. These results in comparison with the standard benchmarks also confirm the good accuracy of the present solution algorithm.

In this work we present a δ-Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) scheme for weakly compressible flows with automatic adaptive numerical dissipation. The resulting scheme is a meshless self-adaptive method, in which the introduced artificial dissipation is designed to increase the dissipation in zones where the flow is under-resolved by the numerical scheme, and to decrease it where dissipation is not required. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed methodology is tested by solving several numerical examples. Using the proposed scheme, we are able to recover the theoretical decay of kinetic energy, even where the flow is under-resolved in very coarse particle discretizations. Moreover, compared with the original δ-SPH scheme, the proposed method reduces the number of problem-dependent parameters.

The Impact

This paper presents a solution of a dam break problem in two dimensions obtained with smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The main focus is on pressure evaluation during the impact on the wall. The used numerical method and the way of pressure evaluation are described in detail. The numerical results of the kinematics and dynamics of the flow are compared with experimental data from the literature. The abilities and limitations of the used methods are discussed.
