Abrasive waterjet is widely used for mass-cutting during coal mining or other mining process. Such a cutting process involves complex fluid–solid coupling, which require an effective method capable of simulating the large deformation and spalling of materials. This paper uses method of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) to establish a model to simulate the cutting process of coal seams by abrasive waterjets. In our SPH model, both fluid and solid are discretized with SPH particles. These particles are different in physical properties representing waterjet, abrasive particles and target materials. The waterjet is treated as viscous fluid and the coal (as a target material) is modeled as a brittle solid material. All these SPH particles of various medium are governed by the Navier–Stokes (NS) equations. Our established SPH model is then applied to study the efficiency of coal cutting using different waterjet formations. The results show that the cutting efficiency of the abrasive waterjet is higher than that of the standard waterjet. Our SPH model is capable of reveal the detailed interactions of the micro waterjet abrasive particles with the particles on the surface of coal. It enables the study on the mechanisms of coal seam breaking and cutting processes. It provides an effective computational tool for improving the efficiency of coal mining and of the development of new techniques for coal mining.

Immer häufiger kommen Simulationsergebnisse zur Optimierung von Zerspanprozessen zum Einsatz. Dabei wird ein sehr breites Spektrum verschiedener Techniken und Algorithmen verwendet. Für die entsprechende Auswahl muss der Anwendungsingenieur eine Überprüfung der Vor- und Nachteile der verschiedenen Algorithmen bei der Erstellung und Verwendung der numerischen Zerspanmodelle in Bezug auf den jeweils vorliegenden Zerpanprozess vornehmen. In diesem Artikel werden unterschiedliche Berechnungs- und Ansatzalgorithmen anhand von vier Zerspanmodellen – Lagrange‘sches Modell mit und ohne Remeshing, Euler’sches Modell und SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics)-Modell – erarbeitet und miteinander sowie mit den experimentell gewonnenen Daten verglichen.   More and more results from simulations are being used to optimize cutting processes. To accomplish this, a very wide spectrum of different techniques and algorithms is applied. The engineer is required to find the advantages and disadvantages of the different algorithms used for development and employment in the numerical cutting model. This paper compares different calculation and approach algorithms on the basis of four different cutting models - Lagrange model with and without Remeshing, Eulerian model and SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics)-model - as well as experimentally gained data.

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.

Abstract The paper considers the failure study of concrete structures loaded by the pressure wave due to detonation of an explosive material. In the paper two numerical methods are used and their efficiency and accuracy are compared. There are the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and the Finite Element Method (FEM). The numerical examples take into account the dynamic behaviour of concrete slab or a structure composed of two concrete slabs subjected to the blast impact coming from one side. The influence of reinforcement in the slab (1, 2 or 3 layers) is also presented and compared with a pure concrete one. The influence of mesh density for FEM and the influence of important parameters in SPH like a smoothing length or a particle distance on the quality of the results are discussed in the paper
