Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics into the Fluid Dynamics of Classical Problems

Article Preview

Abstract:

The study concerns the application of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method within the computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In the present study, some classical problems – the Poiseuille flow, the Hagen-Poiseuille flow, and the Couette flow – with the analytical solutions were investigated to verify a newly developed code of SPH. The code used for solving these problems, is an entirely parallel SPH solver in 3D and has been developed by the authors. Fluid was modelled as a viscous liquid with weak compressibility. The boundary walls were simulated with a special set of fixed boundary particles, and no-slip boundary condition was considered. Computational results were compared to available analytical solutions for transient hydraulic processes. Good agreement is achieved for the whole transient stage of the considered problems until steady state is reached. The results of this study highlight the potential of SPH to tackle a broad range of problems in fluid mechanics.
