Numerical simulation of 3-D free surface flows by overlapping MPS

An overlapping moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method is applied for 3-D free surface flows based on our in-house particle solver MLParticle-SJTU. In this method, the coarse particles are distributed in the whole domain and the fine particles are distributed in the local region of interest at the same time. With the fine particles being generated and removed dynamically, an algorithm of generating particles based on the 3-D overlapping volume is developed. Then, a 3-D dam break flow with an obstacle is simulated to validate the overlapping MPS. The qualitative comparison among experimental data and the results obtained by the VOF and the MPS shows that the shape of the free surface obtained by the overlapping MPS is more accurate than that obtained by the UNI-coarse and close to that obtained by the UNI-fine in the overlapping domain. In addition, the water height and the impact pressure at P1 are also in an overall agreement with experimental data. Finally, the CPU time required by the overlapping MPS is about half of that required by the UNI-fine.
