The objective of this study is to investigate dam break hydrodynamics with improved Moving Particle Semi-implicit method (MPS). Compared to traditional mesh methods, MPS is feasible to simulate surface flows with large deformation, however, during the simulation, the pressure oscillates violently, due to misjudgment of surface particles as well as particles gathering together.

Abstract

Dam break is quite a common and hazard phenomenon in shipbuilding and ocean engineering. The objective of this study is to investigate dam break hydrodynamics with improved Moving Particle Semi-implicit method (MPS). Compared to traditional mesh methods, MPS is feasible to simulate surface flows with large deformation, however, during the simulation, the pressure oscillates violently, due to misjudgment of surface particles as well as particles gathering together. To modify these problems, a new arc method is applied to judge free surface particles, and a collision model is introduced to avoid particles from gathering together. Hydrostatic pressure is simulated by original and improved MPS. The results verify that improved MPS method is more effective. Based on these, dam break model is investigated with improved MPS.
