The paper examines the issues of mathematical modeling of ceramic armor panels’ penetration by high-speed cylindrical impactors. By means of the LS-DYNA software package, a corresponding numerical simulation methodology was developed by combining a chosen method, adjusted computational mesh cells size, appropriate Courant number, and values of linear and quadratic pseudo-viscosity coefficients. The results compared with experimental data show that Lagrangian and Eulerian numerical methods, unlike the SPH method (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics), improperly reproduce the process of the shock wave disintegration into an elastic precursor and a plastic wave. In addition, the common size of conical fractions dislodging from the ceramic plates was determined and the influence of the scale effect on the ceramics damage patterns was shown: an increase in the absolute value of the plate thickness leads to the increase in the dislodging cone semi-vertex angle.

A sliding block model is developed for predicting the runout of high-speed landslides, which couple with SPH method (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) to simulate impulse wave. This model adopts the limit equilibrium analysis approach to simulate the whole travel process of the soil mass from the onset of the landslide. The submarine landslide produces highly unsteady and rapidly varied flows, so it was very complicated by fixed grid numerical simulations. The SPH method is a meshfree particle-based Lagrangian method. A sample test is given which shows the impulsive waves generated by high-speed landslide can be reproduced well.

Water jet technology is widely used in dredging engineering. Since there will be large deformation of sand bed during erosion by water jet, the calculation mesh will be distorted seriously and lead to simulation failure. In order to solve the problem, the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method was used to simulate the dynamic process of high speed water jet erosion of sand bed. The simulation process and key techniques were discussed, the effect of water jet velocity and water jet target distance on the depth of eroded pit was studied. The results show that SPH could describe the process intuitively and the evolution of particle velocity field and sand bed pressure field could be shown clearly. The depth of the pit varies with time linearly. The decrease of water jet target distance and the increase of the water jet velocity deepen the eroded pit.

Water entry problems are very common in engineering and sciences. When objects move with relatively high speed, bubble cavities will be generated, and the behavior of moving objects will also be affected conversely. In this paper, the water entry problems are studied using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, which has special advantages in modeling free surfaces, moving interfaces. First, an improved fluid–solid interface treatment algorithm is presented, whose effectiveness is validated by a water entry of a buoyant cylinder. Then the water entry with different velocities and directions are researched. It is found that the velocities and angles of the moving objects will affect the movement of the object greatly, and the SPH model can give optimal predication of these corresponding conditions.

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.

Purpose This paper aims to introduce a numerical investigation of aquatic locomotion using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. Design/methodology/approach To model this problem, a simple improved SPH algorithm is presented that can handle complex geometries using updatable dummy particles. The computational code is validated by solving the flow over a two-dimensional cylinder and comparing its drag coefficient for two different Reynolds numbers with those in the literature. Findings Additionally, the drag coefficient and vortices created behind the aquatic swimmer are quantitatively and qualitatively compared with available credential data. Afterward, the flow over an aquatic swimmer is simulated for a wide range of Reynolds and Strouhal numbers, as well as for the amplitude envelope. Moreover, comprehensive discussions on drag coefficient and vorticity patterns behind the aquatic are made. Originality/value It is found that by increasing both Reynolds and Strouhal numbers separately, the anguilliform motion approaches the self-propulsion condition; however, the vortices show different pattern with these increments.

Adequate Method

Transportation accidents and the subsequent fire present a concern. Particularly energetic accidents like an aircraft impact or a high speed highway accident can be quite violent. We would like to develop and maintain a capability at Sandia National Laboratories to model these very challenging events. We have identified Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) as a good method to employ for the impact dynamics of the fluid for severe impacts. SPH is capable of modeling viscous and inertial effects for these impacts for short times. We have also identified our fire code Lagrangian/Eulerian (L/E) particle capability as an adequate method for fuel transport and spray modeling. A fire code can also model the subsequent fire for a fuel impact. Surface deposition of the liquid may also be acceptably predicted with the same code. These two methods (SPH and L/E) typically employ complimentary length and timescales for the calculation, and are potentially suited for coupling given adequate attention to relevant details. Length and timescale interactions are important considerations when joining the two capabilities. Additionally, there are physical model inadequacy considerations that contribute to the accuracy of the methodology. These models and methods are presented and evaluated. Some of these concerns are detailed for a verification type scenario used to show the work in progress of this coupling capability. The importance of validation methods and their appropriate application to the genesis of this class of predictive tool are also discussed.

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.

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.
