充液格栅结构抗射弹冲击数值模拟研究

为研究充液格栅结构抗射弹冲击性能,基于经验证的充液箱体抗射弹冲击动力学建模方法,建立典型充液格栅结构抗射弹冲击有限元模型,分析射弹初速度、充液比例、流体液面压力以及流体黏性等对冲击过程中射弹速度衰减变化规律、形成的空腔形态以及流固耦合作用下格栅结构前、后壁板变形的影响。结果表明:射弹动能损失与充液比例基本没有关系,但与射弹初速度、液面压力和流体黏性与射弹动能损失正相关;后壁板的变形程度大于前壁板的变形,壁板变形程度与充液比例、射弹速度和液面压力正相关;射弹冲击下,充液比例越高、射弹初始速度越高、液面压力越高、流体黏性越大,充液格栅结构越容易发生失效。

Simulation of mould filling process using smoothed particle hydrodynamics

The implementation of high pressure die casting （HPDC） filling process modeling based on smoothed particle hydrodynamics （SPH） was discussed. A new treatment of inlet boundary was established by discriminating fluid particles from inlet particles. The roles of artificial viscosity and moving least squares method in the present model were compared in the handling pressure oscillation. The final model was substantiated by simulating filling process in HPDC in both two and three dimensions. The simulated results from SPH and finite difference method （FDM） were compared with the experiments. The results show the former is in a better agreement with experiments. It demonstrates the efficiency and precision of this SPH model in describing flow pattern in filling process.

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics modeling and simulation of foundry filling process

A numerical model of foundry filling process was established based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics（SPH）method.To mimic the constraints that the solid mold prescribes on the filling fluid,a composite treatment to the solid boundaries is elaborately designed.On solid boundary surfaces,boundary particles were set,which exert Lennard-Jones force on approaching fluid particles;inside the solid mold,ghost particles were arranged to complete the compact domain of near-boundary fluid particles.Water analog experiments were conducted in parallel with the model simulations.Very good agreement between experimental and simulation results demonstrates the success of model development.

Comparison of Improved Meshless Interpolation Schemes for SPH Method and Accuracy Analysis

In the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, a meshless interpolation scheme is needed for the unknown function in order to discretize the governing equation.A particle approximation method has so far been used for this purpose.Traditional particle interpolation (TPI) is simple and easy to do, but its low accuracy has become an obstacle to its wider application.This can be seen in the cases of particle disorder arrangements and derivative calculations.There are many different methods to improve accuracy, with the moving least square (MLS) method one of the most important meshless interpolation methods.Unfortunately, it requires complex matrix computing and so is quite time-consuming.The authors developed a simpler scheme, called higher-order particle interpolation (HPI).This scheme can get more accurate derivatives than the MLS method, and its function value and derivatives can be obtained simultaneously.Although this scheme was developed for the SPH method, it has been found useful for other meshless methods.

SPH-FEM simulations of microwave-treated basalt strength

Microwave precondition has been highlighted as a promising technology for softening the rock mass prior to rock breakage by machine to reduce drill bit/cutter wear as well as inverse production rate.To numerically explore the effect of numerical parameters on rock static strength simulation,and determine the numerical mechanical parameters of microwave-treated basalts for future drilling and cutting simulations,numerical models of uniaxial compression strength(UCS)and Brazilian tensile strength(BTS)were established with the coupling of smoothed particle hydrodynamics and finite element method(SPH-FEM).To eliminate the large rock strength errors caused by microwave-induced damage,the cohesion and internal friction angle of microwave-treated basalt specimens with the same microwave treatment parameters were calibrated based on a linear Mohr-Coulomb theory.Based on parametric sensitivity analysis of SPH simulation of UCS and BTS,experimental UCS and BTS values were simultaneously captured according to the same set of calibrated cohesion and internal friction angle data,and the UCS modeling results are in good agreement with experimental tests.Furthermore,the effect of microwave irradiation parameter on the basalt mechanical behaviors was evaluated.

A Research on Particle-Based Parallel Methods for Fluid Animation

In this paper, we present an acceleration strategy for Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics （SPH） on multi-GPU platform. For single-GPU, we first use a neighborhood search algorithm of compacting cell index combined with spatial domain characteristics For multi-GPU, we focus on the changing patterns of SPH＇s computational time. Simple dynamic load balancing algorithm works well because the computational time of each time step changes slowly compared to previous time step. By further optimizing dynamic load balancing algorithm and the communication strategy among GPUs, a nearly linear speedup is achieved in different scenarios with a scale of millions particles. The quality and efficiency of our methods are demonstrated using multiple scenes with different particle numbers.

An adaptive smoothed particle hydrodynamics for metal cutting simulation

Normally large amounts of particles are required to accurately simulate the metal cutting process,which consumes a lot of computing time and storage.Adaptive techniques can help decrease the number of particles,hence reducing the runtime.This paper presents a novel adaptive smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH)method for the metal cutting simulation.The spatial resolution changes adaptively according to the distance to the tool tip by the particle splitting and merging.More particles are selected in the region where the workpiece and the tool are in contact.Since the contact region constantly changes during the cutting process,two quadrilateral frames are adopted in the adaptive algorithm to dynamically change the distribution of particles.One frame for the refinement,the other for the coarsening.These frames move at the same speed as the tool.To test the computational efficiency,the metal cutting process is simulated by using SPH with three different adaptive approaches.Numerical results show that the proposed adaptive algorithm with dynamic refinement and coarsening can significantly optimize the runtime.

A Derivation of the Entropy-Based Relativistic Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics by Variational Principle

In this work, a second order smoothed particle hydrodynamics is derived for the study of relativistic heavy ion collisions. The hydrodynamical equation of motion is formulated in terms of the variational principle. In order to describe the fluid of high energy density but of low baryon density, the entropy is taken as the base quantity for the interpolation. The smoothed particle hydrodynamics algorithm employed in this study is of the second order, which guarantees better particle consistency. Furthermore, it is shown that the variational principle preserves the translational invariance of the system, and therefore improves the accuracy of the method. A brief discussion on the potential implications of the model in heavy ion physics as well as in general relativity are also presented.
