摘要
The present paper proposes a new scheme for identifying free surface particles in an improved SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics). With the development of the SPH, free surface identification becomes a key challenge in free surface flow simulations, especially for violent breaking water waves. According to numerical tests, existing free surface identified schemes are not reliable for weakly compressible SPH when violent waves are modeled. The new free surface identification scheme suggested here considers changes in density ratio and three auxiliary functions. Although this new scheme originates from a scheme for another meshfree method (MLPG_R method), it includes several improvements, especially developed for the improved SPH. The limited numerical tests have indicated that the scheme does not significantly increase CPU time required, but it considerably improves the identification of free surface particles.
