Abstract
This study builds on our prior 2D variable-resolution framework for Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) using domain decomposition, extending it to the simulation of three-dimensional flows. We enhance the domain decomposition strategy to enable efficient mass transfer across subdomains with varying resolutions. Key improvements include a refined calculation of Eulerian fluxes at the interfaces between different subdomains, including the free surface, and the use of a first-order consistent approximation of the pressure gradient for a smooth transition of the physical variables across the different resolution zones.
The model is implemented in the SPH solver DualSPHysics and validated through several 3D test cases, including flow past a sphere, water entry of a wedge, and wave-induced motion of a floating box. Simulation results indicate that our 3D multi-resolution model can capture complex fluid-structure interactions effectively, and it can offer significant computational savings over traditional uniform resolution techniques. Our advancements provide a scalable and efficient solution for simulating a wide range of multi-scale engineering applications, especially those involving fluid-structure interaction.
期刊介绍:
The focus of CPC is on contemporary computational methods and techniques and their implementation, the effectiveness of which will normally be evidenced by the author(s) within the context of a substantive problem in physics. Within this setting CPC publishes two types of paper.
Computer Programs in Physics (CPiP)
These papers describe significant computer programs to be archived in the CPC Program Library which is held in the Mendeley Data repository. The submitted software must be covered by an approved open source licence. Papers and associated computer programs that address a problem of contemporary interest in physics that cannot be solved by current software are particularly encouraged.
Computational Physics Papers (CP)
These are research papers in, but are not limited to, the following themes across computational physics and related disciplines.
mathematical and numerical methods and algorithms;
computational models including those associated with the design, control and analysis of experiments; and
algebraic computation.
Each will normally include software implementation and performance details. The software implementation should, ideally, be available via GitHub, Zenodo or an institutional repository.In addition, research papers on the impact of advanced computer architecture and special purpose computers on computing in the physical sciences and software topics related to, and of importance in, the physical sciences may be considered.
