A Multi-Resolution Weakly Compressible Moving-Particle Semi-Implicit (MR-WC-MPS) method is presented in this paper for simulation of free-surface flows. To reduce the computational costs, as with the multi-grid schemes used in mesh-based methods, there is also a need in particle methods to efficiently capture the characteristics of different flow regions with different levels of complexity in different spatial resolutions. The proposed MR-WC-MPS method allows the use of particles with different sizes in a computational domain, analogous to multi-resolution grid in grid-based methods. To evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method, it is applied to the dam-break and submarine landslide tests. It is shown that the MR-WC-MPS results, while about 15% faster, are in good agreement with the conventional single-resolution MPS results and experimental results. The remarkable ability of the MR-WC-MPS method in providing robust savings in computational time for up to 60% is then shown by applying the method for simulation of extended submarine landslide test.

Dam Breaking

A multi-resolution moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method is applied into two-dimensional (2D) free surface flows based on our in-house particle solver MLParticle-SJTU in the present work. Considering the effect of different size particles, both the influence radiuses of two adjacent particles are replaced by the arithmetic mean of their interaction radiuses. Then the modifications for kernel function of differential operator models are derived, respectively. In order to validate the present multi-resolution MPS method, two cases are carried out. Firstly, a hydrostatic case is performed. The results show that the contour of pressure field by multi-resolution MPS is quite in agreement with that by single resolution MPS. Especially, the multi-resolution MPS can still provide a relative smooth pressure together with the single resolution MPS in the vicinity of the interface between the high resolution and low resolution particles. For a long time simulation, the kinetic energy of particles by multi-resolution MPS can decrease quickly to the same level as that of single resolution MPS. In addition, a 2D dam breaking flow is simulated and the multi-resolution case can run stably during the whole simulation. The pressure by the multi-resolution MPS is in agreement with experimental data together with single resolution MPS. The contour of pressure field by the former is also similar to that by the later. Finally, the simulation by multi-resolution MPS is as accurate as the traditional MPS with fine particles distributed in the whole domain and the corresponding CPU time can be reduced.

In this paper, numerical improvements are implemented for solving for the pressure in the moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method for free-surface flow simulations. The tensile instability problem is solved using a dynamic stabilization (DS) algorithm. The low numerical diffusion of this algorithm is shown through numerical tests. A free-surface treatment that includes an accurate free-surface particle detection algorithm and the implicit application of a free-surface boundary condition is used. The solution of the Navier–Stokes equation is improved using a particle shifting (PS) algorithm. The proposed MPS method for free-surface flow simulations is successfully applied in several benchmark tests and two- and three-dimensional dam break problems. The numerical simulation results agree well with the analytical and empirical ones. It is shown that the proposed MPS method effectively improves the stability and accuracy of simulations of free-surface flows.

While plain vanilla OpenFOAM has strong capabilities with regards to quite a few typical CFD-tasks, some problems actually require additional bespoke solvers and numerics for efficient computation of high-quality results. One of the fields requiring these additions is the computation of large-scale free-surface flows as found e.g. in naval architecture. This holds especially for the flow around typical modern yacht hulls, often planing, sometimes with surface-piercing appendages. Particular challenges include, but are not limited to, breaking waves, sharpness of interface, numerical ventilation (aka streaking) and a wide range of flow phenomenon scales. A new OF-based application including newly implemented discretization schemes, gradient computation and rigid body motion computation is described. In the following the new code will be validated against published experimental data; the effect on accuracy, computational time and solver stability will be shown by comparison to standard OF-solvers (interFoam / interDyMFoam) and Star CCM+. The code’s capabilities to simulate complex “real-world” flows are shown on a well-known racing yacht design.

Stability And Consistency

In this work, we develop an enhanced particle shifting strategy in the framework of weakly compressible δ+-SPH method. This technique can be considered as an extension of the so-called improved particle shifting technology (IPST) proposed by Wang et al. (2019). We introduce a new parameter named “ϕ” to the particle shifting formulation, on the one hand to reduce the effect of truncated kernel support on the formulation near the free surface region, on the other hand, to deal with the problem of poor estimation of free surface particles. We define a simple criterion based on the estimation of particle concentration to limit the error’s accumulation in time caused by the shifting in order to achieve a long time violent free surface flows simulation. We propose also an efficient and simple concept for free surface particles detection. A validation of accuracy, stability and consistency of the presented model was shown via several challenging benchmarks.
