AbstractWe comment on a recent article [Comput. Mech. 2020, 65, 487–502] about surface-tension modeling for free-surface flows with Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics. The authors motivate part of their work related to a novel principal curvature approximation by the wrong claim that the classical curvature formulation in SPH overestimates the curvature in 3D by a factor of 2. In this note we confirm the correctness of the classical formulation and point out the misconception of the commented article.

AbstractSmoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations are a powerful tool to investigate hydrodynamical processes in astrophysics such as the formation of galactic disks. Dense gas clouds raining on the forming disk are possibly disrupted by Kelvin-Helmholtz-Instabilities (KHI). To understand the evolution of the halo clouds, we have to ascertain the capability of SPH to treat the KHI correctly, since SPH-methods tend to suffer from an innate surface tension and viscosity effects, both of which could dampen the KHI. We analytically derive a growth rate of the KHI including surface tension and viscosity in the linear regime, and compare this growth rate to results of numerical simulations by an SPH method and a grid-based method. We find that SPH in some cases suppresses the KHI (Junk et al., in prep).
