A viscous 3D numerical wave basin for high nonlinear waves was developed based on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The computational accuracy of SPH method is mainly improved by introducing the Corrective Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Method (CSPM) and a novel pressure correction scheme. The incident waves are generated from the inflow boundary by prescribing a velocity profile of the flap-type wavemaker motions, and the outgoing waves are numerically dissipated inside an artificial damping zone located at the end of the basin. Moreover, the parallelization of the improved 3D SPH scheme has been carried out using a hybrid MPI-OpenMP programming, together with a dynamic load balancing strategy to improve the computational efficiency. The generation and propagation of regular wave and solitary wave have been simulated. Wave forces induced by regular wave acting on a large-diameter circular cylinder and solitary wave passing over a submerged breakwater are also presented to verify the accuracy of SPH model. In addition, several computing cases of different particle resolutions are investigated and a high parallel efficiency is obtained.

Interaction of a solitary wave and submerged breakwater is studied in a meshless, Lagrangian approach. For this purpose, a two-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code is developed. Furthermore, an extensive set of simulations is conducted. In the first step, the generated solitary wave is validated. Subsequently, the interaction of solitary wave and submerged breakwater is investigated thoroughly. Results of the interaction of solitary wave and a submerged breakwater are also shown to be in good agreement with published experimental studies. Afterwards, the effects of the inclination and length of breakwater as well as distance between two breakwaters are evaluated on damping ratio of breakwater.

Non-homogeneous viscous debris flows are characterized by high density, impact force and destructiveness, and the complexity of the materials they are made of. This has always made these flows challenging to simulate numerically, and to reproduce experimentally debris flow processes. In this study, the formation-movement process of non-homogeneous debris flow under three different soil configurations was simulated numerically by modifying the formulation of collision, friction, and yield stresses for the existing Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The results obtained by applying this modification to the SPH model clearly demonstrated that the configuration where fine and coarse particles are fully mixed, with no specific layering, produces more fluctuations and instability of the debris flow. The kinetic and potential energies of the fluctuating particles calculated for each scenario have been shown to be affected by the water content by focusing on small local areas. Therefore, this study provides a better understanding and new insights regarding intermittent debris flows, and explains the impact of the water content on their formation and movement processes.

AbstractThis paper illustrates recent progresses in the development of the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method to simulate and post-process liquid spray generation. The simulation of a generic annular airblast atomizer is presented, in which a liquid sheet is fragmented by two concentric counter swirling air streams. The accent is put on how the SPH method can bridge the gap between the CAD geometry of a nozzle and its characterization, in terms of spray characteristics and dynamics. In addition, the Lagrangian nature of the SPH method allows to extract additional data to give further insight in the spraying process. First, the sequential breakup events can be tracked from one large liquid blob to very fine stable droplets. This is herein called the tree of fragmentation. From this tree of fragmentation, abstract quantities can be drawn such as the breakup activity and the fragmentation spectrum. Second, the Lagrangian coherent structures in the turbulent flow can be determined easily with the finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE). The extraction of the FTLE is particularly feasible in the SPH framework. Finally, it is pointed out that there is no universal and ultimate non-dimensional number that can characterize airblast primary breakup. Depending on the field of interest, a non-dimensional number (e.g. Weber number) might be more appropriate than another one (e.g. momentum flux ratio) to characterize the regime, and vice versa.

This study develops an accurate numerical tool for investigating optimal retrofit configurations in order to minimize wave overtopping from a vertical seawall due to extreme climatic events and under changing climate. A weakly compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (WCSPH) model is developed to simulate the wave-structure interactions for coastal retrofit structures in front of a vertical seawall. A range of possible physical configurations of coastal retrofits including re-curve wall and submerged breakwater are modelled with the numerical model to understand their performance under different wave and structural conditions. The numerical model is successfully validated against laboratory data collected in 2D wave flume at Warwick Water Laboratory. The findings of numerical modelling are in good agreement with the laboratory data. The results indicate that recurve wall is more effective in mitigating wave overtopping and provides more resilience to coastal flooding in comparison to base-case (plain vertical wall) and submerged breakwater retrofit.

Abstract Flow-type landslide is one type of landslide that generally exhibits characteristics of high flow velocities, long jump distances, and poor predictability. Simulation of it facilitates propagation analysis and provides solutions for risk assessment and mitigation design. The smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method has been successfully applied to the simulation of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) flow-like landslides. However, the influence of boundary resistance on the whole process of landslide failure is rarely discussed. In this study, a boundary algorithm considering the friction is proposed, and integrated into the boundary condition of the SPH method, and its accuracy is verified. Moreover, the Navier-Stokes equation combined with the non-Newtonian fluid rheology model was utilized to solve the dynamic behavior of the flow-like landslide. To verify its performance, the Shuicheng landslide event, which occurred in Guizhou, China, was taken as a case study. In the 2D simulation, a sensitivity analysis was conducted, and the results showed that the shearing strength parameters have more influence on the computation accuracy in comparison with the coefficient of viscosity. Afterwards, the dynamic characteristics of the landslide, such as the velocity and the impact area, were analyzed in the 3D simulation. The simulation results are in good agreement with the field investigations. The simulation results demonstrate that the SPH method performs well in reproducing the landslide process, and facilitates the analysis of landslide characteristics as well as the affected areas, which provides a scientific basis for conducting the risk assessment and disaster mitigation design.

The study concerns the application of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method within the computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In the present study, some classical problems – the Poiseuille flow, the Hagen-Poiseuille flow, and the Couette flow – with the analytical solutions were investigated to verify a newly developed code of SPH. The code used for solving these problems, is an entirely parallel SPH solver in 3D and has been developed by the authors. Fluid was modelled as a viscous liquid with weak compressibility. The boundary walls were simulated with a special set of fixed boundary particles, and no-slip boundary condition was considered. Computational results were compared to available analytical solutions for transient hydraulic processes. Good agreement is achieved for the whole transient stage of the considered problems until steady state is reached. The results of this study highlight the potential of SPH to tackle a broad range of problems in fluid mechanics.

We simulate the chemical and dynamical evolution of the galactic bulge with the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. We calculate the early phase of galaxy formation in which the bulge is formed through a burst of star formation. The calculated abundance distribution function of stars in the bulge is consistent with the observations of bulge K giants, if the heavy element yields are three times larger than those expected from Salpeter's IMF.
