Abstract
We present an extension of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) toward fluid flows involving the interaction with permeable deformable membranes. For this purpose, a coupled SPH-FE method based on a variational formulation of the immersed boundary (IB) method is developed. In the proposed method, weakly compressible SPH is used for the discretization of the fluid and a finite element (FE) method for thin structures for the discretization of the membrane. We consider confined flow in a two-dimensional fluid domain, with the membrane being represented as an elastic beam. Adopting the framework available for the IB method, the flux through the permeable membrane as described by Darcy’s law is considered. Finally, the proposed SPH-FE method is applied to two benchmark problems, i.e., the contraction of a circular membrane and the deformation of a membrane in a channel flow, comparing the numerical results with available analytical solutions.
期刊介绍:
GENERAL OBJECTIVES: Computational Particle Mechanics (CPM) is a quarterly journal with the goal of publishing full-length original articles addressing the modeling and simulation of systems involving particles and particle methods. The goal is to enhance communication among researchers in the applied sciences who use "particles'''' in one form or another in their research.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: Particle-based materials and numerical methods have become wide-spread in the natural and applied sciences, engineering, biology. The term "particle methods/mechanics'''' has now come to imply several different things to researchers in the 21st century, including:
(a) Particles as a physical unit in granular media, particulate flows, plasmas, swarms, etc.,
(b) Particles representing material phases in continua at the meso-, micro-and nano-scale and
(c) Particles as a discretization unit in continua and discontinua in numerical methods such as
Discrete Element Methods (DEM), Particle Finite Element Methods (PFEM), Molecular Dynamics (MD), and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), to name a few.
