The moving particle semi-implicit method is a meshless particle method for incompressible fluid and has proven useful in a wide variety of engineering applications of free-surface flows. Despite its wide applicability, the moving particle semi-implicit method has the defects of spurious unphysical pressure oscillation. Three various divergence approximation formulas, including basic divergence approximation formula, difference divergence approximation formula, and symmetric divergence approximation formula are proposed in this paper. The proposed three divergence approximation formulas are then applied for discretization of source term in pressure Poisson equation. Two numerical tests, including hydrostatic pressure problem and dam-breaking problem, are carried out to assess the performance of different formulas in enhancing and stabilizing the pressure calculation. The results demonstrate that the pressure calculated by basic divergence approximation formula and difference divergence approximation formula fluctuates severely. However, application of symmetric divergence approximation formula can result in a more accurate and stabilized pressure.

The paper aims to simulate Tsunami currents around moving and fixed structures using the moving-particle semi-implicit method. An open channel with four different sets of structures is employed in the numerical model. The simulation results for the case with one structure indicate that the flow around the moving structure is faster than that around the fixed structure. The flow becomes more complex for cases with additional structures.

The present paper describes the simulation of behavior of mooring vessels in tsunami using the 3-D MPS (Moving Particle Semi-implicit) Method for considering leading wave and backwash effect. The chain of a disaster is brought about by two kinds of tsunami. The chain of disaster means breaking the mooring tether, grounding on a wharf, drift to continental areas, the collision with building by leading wave and the outflow of the floating matter by backwash. In this research, the 3D-MPS method is applied, and the bore like wave is applied as an assumed tsunami. The expression of backwash is tried by water pillar collapse. The present calculation results are compared with the experimental results and the applicability of the MPS method is discussed. In addition, the vehicle is arranged on a wharf, and the chain of disaster is simulated.
