Simulation of the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) and free surface flows includes an area of extremely challenging problems in the computational mechanics community. In this paper, a newly proposed SPH algorithm is employed to simulate FSI problems with complex free surface flows. In this way, fluid and elastic structure continua are coupled using a monolithic but explicit numerical scheme. The proposed method is similar to so-called SPH projection method and consists of three steps. The first two steps play the role of prediction, while in the third step a Poisson equation is used for both fluid and structure to impose incompressibility constraint.
