Abstract
This research proposes an improved two phases-two points SPH model designed to simulate interactions between water and soil, particularly suitable for scenarios such as submerged landslides. This model treats water as a weakly compressible Newtonian fluid and soil as a cohesive-frictional material following an elastoplastic constitutive law, utilizing two layers of SPH particles to separately represent these two phases. An adaptive drag force formula is proposed that automatically switches between linear and nonlinear seepage modes based on the motion state of the porewater. Additionally, to improve the precision and stability of the model, a modified solid boundary condition and a method for calculating soil volume fraction are proposed, along with an SPH discretization formula that incorporates the effects of the volume fraction in a more effective way. The reliability of the improved two phases-two points SPH model is initially verified through two cases: a dry granular landslide and a submerged soil mass subjected to gravitational loading. Then, the effectiveness of the proposed improvement methods is further tested and validated through three submerged landslide cases with different grain diameters, demonstrating the applicability of the current model in simulating submerged landslides and its superiority in accuracy and stability compared to previous models.
期刊介绍:
The use of computers is firmly established in geotechnical engineering and continues to grow rapidly in both engineering practice and academe. The development of advanced numerical techniques and constitutive modeling, in conjunction with rapid developments in computer hardware, enables problems to be tackled that were unthinkable even a few years ago. Computers and Geotechnics provides an up-to-date reference for engineers and researchers engaged in computer aided analysis and research in geotechnical engineering. The journal is intended for an expeditious dissemination of advanced computer applications across a broad range of geotechnical topics. Contributions on advances in numerical algorithms, computer implementation of new constitutive models and probabilistic methods are especially encouraged.
