Submarine landslide is the most serious threat on both local and regional scales. By way of addition to destroying directly offshore structures, slope failures may also generate destructive tsunami waves. This study has developed a numerical model based on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method to predict four stages of generation, propagation, run-up, and impact of tsunami phenomenon. The numerical predictions in the research were validated with results in the literature and experimental tests. The results of the physical and numerical results presented in this study effort to develop these rule of thumbs to clearly understand some of the mechanics that may play a role in the assessment of tsunami waves.

A numerical study on the dynamic response of a generic rigid water-landing object (WLO) during water impact is presented in this paper. The effect of this impact is often prominent in the design phase of the re-entry project to determine the maximum force for material strength determination to ensure structural and equipment integrity, human safety and comfort. The predictive capability of the explicit finite-element (FE) arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) methods of a state-of-the-art nonlinear dynamic finite-element code for simulation of coupled dynamic fluid structure interaction (FSI) responses of the splashdown event of a WLO were evaluated. The numerical predictions are first validated with experimental data for maximum impact accelerations and then used to supplement experimental drop tests to establish trends over a wide range of conditions including variations in vertical velocity, entry angle, and object weight. The numerical results show that the fully coupled FSI models can capture the water-impact response accurately for all range of drop tests considered, and the impact acceleration varies practically linearly with increase in drop height. In view of the good comparison between the experimental and numerical simulations, both models can readily be employed for parametric studies and for studying the prototype splashdown under more realistic field conditions in the oceans.

The effect of this impact is often prominent in the design phase of the re-entry project, to determine the maximum force it is subjected to, for material strength determination to ensure structural and equipment integrity, human safety and comfort.

The results show that the fully coupled FSI models can capture the water-impact response accurately for all range of drop tests considered and the impact accelerations are practically linearly with the increase in the height of the drop. The reliability of the maximum impact accelerations was calibrated with approximate classical von Karman and Wagner closed-form solutions.

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.
