Simplified models like the shallow water equations (SWE) are commonly adopted for describing a wide range of free surface flow problems, like flows in rivers,lakes, estuaries, or coastal areas. In the literature, numerical methods for the SWE are mostly mesh-based. However, this macroscopic approach is unable to accurately represent the complexity of flows near coastlines, where waves nearly break. This fact prompted the idea of coupling the mesh-based SWE model with a meshless particlemethod for solving the Euler equations. In a previous paper, a method to couple the staggered scheme SWE and the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) Euler equations was developed and discussed. In this article, this coupled model is used for simulating solitary wave run-up on a sloping beach. The results show strong agreement with the experimental data of Synolakis. Simulations of wave overtopping over aseawall were also performed.

This paper presents an implementation of an improved smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method for numerical simulation of free-surface flow problems. The presented SPH method involves two major modifications on the traditional SPH method: (1) kernel gradient correction (KGC) and density correction to improve the computational accuracy in particle approximation and (2) RANS turbulence model to capture the inherent physics of flow turbulence. In the simulation, artificial compressibility for modeling incompressible fluid and ghost particles for treating solid boundaries are both applied. The presented SPH has been applied to two dam-breaking problems. We demonstrated that the presented SPH method has very good performance with more accurate flow patterns and pressure field distribution.

Based on the fundamental theory of smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH), a feasible algorithm for fluid–solid coupling on interface is applied to describe the dynamic behavior of fluid and solid by utilizing continuum mechanics governing equations. Numerical simulation is conducted based on the proposed SPH model and the fluid–solid interface coupling algorithm, and good agreement is observed with the experiment results. It is shown in the results that the present SPH model is able to effectively and accurately simulate the free-surface flow of fluid, deformation of the elastic solid and the fluid–solid impacting.

<p>Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a promising simulation technique in the family of Lagrangian mesh-free methods, especially for flows that undergo large deformations. Particle methods do not require a mesh (grid) for their implementation, in contrast to conventional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods. Conventional CFD algorithms have reached a very good level of maturity and the limits of their applicability are now fairly well understood. In this paper we investigate the application of the SPH method in Poiseuille and transient Couette flow along with a free surface flow example. Algorithmically, the method is viewed within the framework of an atomic-scale method, Molecular Dynamics (MD). In this way, we make use of MD codes and computational tools for macroscale systems.</p>

In this study a new computational algorithm to enforce incompressibility in free surface flow analysis using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is presented. The method uses two steps. The first step is a fractional step for solving velocity field forward in time without incompressibility. Then the second step is computed to compensate the pressure Poisson equation using the mass constant equation in a particle field. This method is composed of the above two steps and is similar to SMAC (Simplified Marker and Cell) method commonly used in CFD. However in SPH simulation, the introduction of incompressibility of fluid is easily realized using the particle density concept and the boundary of free surface of fluid is also controlled conveniently by the concept. In this study the algorithm is applied to sloshing problems of vessels with fluid. The numerical results using this algorithm show good results in the behaviors of free surface flow and the pressure evaluations at the wall of the vessels.

Abstract The life of Surface Effect Ship (SES) bow and finger seals are often short-lived due to a combination of environmental effects and dynamic loading due to high-speed operation. Improving SES seal robustness requires a deeper understanding of the dynamics and loads seen by SES skirt seals during operation. In this work, we present the results of a validation study performed for a coupled, smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) - finite element method (FEM) solver developed to study fluid-structure impact and free-surface flow interaction with hyper-elastic structures. This work continues and extends the earlier coupled SPH-FEM approach of Yang et al. [1]. Numerical predictions for skirt seal displacement are compared against the experimental observations of Zalek and Doctors performed by the Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory at the University of Michigan [2].

AbstractA stagnant free-surface flow is an instantaneous flow field of pure acceleration with zero velocity and a deformed surface. There exists a potential-flow acceleration field. With zero velocity and the acceleration field given, there is a limiting free-surface position which possesses one peak at its point of highest elevation. By complex analysis, it can be shown that the surface peak has a right angle. We elaborate on an elementary model of two-dimensional stagnant free-surface flow with a peak. Our model may serve to describe a situation of maximal single-wave run-up with a given energy at a uniformly sloping beach. The highest possible run-up of an incoming solitary wave corresponds to zero kinetic energy. It encompasses an idealized situation where the kinetic wave energy is converted into potential energy in a water mass piling up along the slope to become stagnant at one single moment. Multipoles with singularities outside the fluid domain may give rise to a smooth and gradual deceleration needed for a non-breaking run-up process. A pair of dipoles with an orientation perpendicular to a given slope represents the stagnant acceleration fields with the highest surface peak spatially concentrated along the slope. Thereby, a one-parameter family of surface shapes is constituted, only dependent on the slope angle. The initial flow field, the initial free surface, the initial isobars and the geometric parameters are all calculated for different slope angles.
