Abstract

Particle Methods are those in which the problem is represented by a discrete number of particles. Each particle moves accordingly with its own mass and the external/internal forces applied [...]

Abstract

We present a general formulation for analysis of fluid-structure interaction problems using the particle finite element method (PFEM). The key feature of the PFEM is the use of a Lagrangian description to model the motion of nodes (particles) in both the fluid and the structure [...]

Abstract

When simulating high Reynolds number two-phase flow, boundary layers develop at the interface, which are much thinner compared to the capillary length-scales that are of interest. Resolving such an interface layer is expensive and therefore it is often not resolved in a simulation. [...]
