Enhanced resolution of the continuity equation in explicit weakly compressible SPH simulations of incompressible free-surface fluid flows

Abbas Khayyer et al.

Summary: This paper focuses on improving the resolution of the continuity equation in explicit weakly compressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of incompressible free-surface fluid flows. Two novel schemes, Velocity-divergence Error Mitigating (VEM) and Volume Conservation Shifting (VCS), are proposed to enhance the satisfaction of incompressibility conditions. The VEM scheme mitigates velocity divergence error by introducing an additional term in the momentum equation, while the VCS scheme enforces local and global volume conservation through a distinct particle shifting approach.
