An energy stable incompressible SPH method with consistent solid boundary treatment

We propose two novel solid wall boundary treatments on the energy-stable Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method for the Navier–Stokes system which models single-phase incompressible flows. In this work, the solid wall is discretized with dummy particles, and an external force is introduced to restrict the motion of solid particles, whose physical significance and numerical necessity are analyzed. We construct consistent fluid–solid coupling schemes based on the approaches so that the boundary condition is involved in the same equations system with particular constraints. Furthermore, the schemes are unconditionally energy-stable, which allows large time step sizes and leads to efficient computation. A variety of examples are demonstrated to verify the corresponding numerical analysis result, which shows that the approaches can easily handle no-slip and moving boundaries. Finally, we highlight that the energy-stable ISPH with consistent boundary treatments greatly benefits solving long-term problems with steady states.
