一种改进的光滑粒子流体动力学前处理方法

为了便于对任意边界形状的计算域快速地布置均匀粒子,提出了一种改进的光滑粒子流体动力学前处理方法.该方法是在2012年Colagrossi等提出的算法基础上进行改进后得到的.Colagrossi等提出的算法能够计算一些简单外形分布比较均匀的粒子.然而当光滑长度与初始粒子间距的比值较大时该方法在计算过程中会出现较强的数值震荡问题,收敛速度慢;而且在计算过程中可能会遭遇流体粒子穿透固体壁面的问题.本文通过引入未知因素修正的平滑粒子动力学模型来提高计算稳定性,并通过对边界附近的流体粒子施加边界力来避免流体粒子穿透固体壁面.算例验证结果表明,利用改进后的光滑粒子流体动力学前处理方法能够快速地对各种边界形状的计算域分布均匀粒子,并且避免了流体粒子穿透固体壁面的问题.     

Modeling unsteady flow characteristics using smoothed particle hydrodynamics

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method has been extensively used to simulate unsteady free surface flows. The works dedicated to simulation of unsteady internal flows have been generally performed to study the transient start up of steady flows under constant driving forces and for low Reynolds number regimes. However, most of the fluid flow phenomena are unsteady by nature and at moderate to high Reynolds numbers. In this study, first a benchmark case (transient Poiseuille flow) is simulated to evaluate the ability of SPH to simulate internal transient flows at low and moderate Reynolds numbers (Re = 0.05, 500 and 1500). For this benchmark case, the performance of the two most commonly used formulations for viscous term modeling is investigated, as well as the effect of using the XSPH variant. Some points regarding using the symmetric form for pressure gradient modeling are also briefly discussed. Then, the application of SPH is extended to oscillating flows imposed by oscillating body force (Womersley type flow) and oscillating moving boundary (Stokes’ second problem) at different frequencies and amplitudes. There is a very good agreement between SPH results and exact solution even if there is a large phase lag between the oscillating pressure difference and moving boundary and the movement of the SPH particles generated. Finally, a modified formulation for wall shear stress calculations is suggested and verified against exact solutions. In all presented cases, the spatial convergence analysis is performed.
