Numerical simulation on rock cutting by a TBM disc cutter was carried out using SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) code. AUTODYN3D, a commercial software program based on finite element method, was used in this study. The three-dimensional geometry of a disc cutter and a rock specimen were modeled by Lagrange and SPH code respectively. The numerical simulation was carried out for Hwangdeung granite for 10 different cutting conditions. The results of the numerical simulation, i.e. the relation between cutter force and failure behavior, had a good agreement with those from LCM test. The cutter forces measured in the numerical simulation had 10% deviation from the LCM test results. Moreover, the optimum cutter spacing was almost identical with the experimental results. These results indicate that SPH code can be successfully used had applicability for simulation on rock cutting by a TBM disc cutter. However, further study on Lagrange-SPH coupled modelling would be necessary to reduce the computation time.

It is not easy to analyze the behavior of a structural body composed of particles such as rocks using the finite element method facilitating typical element meshes because we cannot ignore the interactions among particles. In the study, we investigated the applicability of smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) element method for collision analysis of rock-berm by comparison with the conventional Lagrange method. As the result, SPH technique is expected to be capable of realistic simulation under collision analysis of material composed of particles.

Producing high density crowd simulation is time-consuming task as increasing the number of individuals in the crowds. In this paper, we propose a new control technique that can create realistic high density crowd simulation by using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method from fluid simulation field. Equations in SPH method are modified for evacuation, distance maintenance, and group maintenance forces for individual behaviors in the crowds. Experimental results showed that the proposed system could enable natural high density crowd simulation efficiently.

Most jet spray and atomization simulations are done with the Eulerian method which has inherent disadvantage in representing jet breakups and droplets. Full Lagrangian particles method called Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics(SPH) is used in this work. We develop the SPH code and perform validations that confirm the suitability of our SPH method for simulating liquid jet atomization problem. Then, we conduct the simulation of liquid-liquid swirl coaxial injector for comparison against the experimental data.

Main aim of this paper is to find the best combination of numerical schemes for 2-D SPH simulation of wedge water entry. Diffusion term is considered as laminar, turbulent, and artificial viscosity. Density filter that seriously affects the pressure distribution is investigated by adopting no filter, first order filter, and second order filter. Validation of the results indicates that turbulent model and first order density filter can lead to more reasonable solutions. This simulation was then conducted for wedge water entry with wide range of deadrise angles including 10 degrees, 20 degrees, 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 60 degrees and 81 degrees, with extreme deadrise angles of 10 degrees, 60 degrees and 81 degrees being considered. Comparison of SPH results with BEM solutions has displayed favorable agreement. In two particular cases where experimental data are available, the SPH results are shown to be closer to the experiments than BEM solution. While, accuracy of the obtained results for moderate deadrise angles is desirable, numerical findings for very small or very large deadrise angles are also very reasonable.

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), a pure Lagrangian numerical method, is applied to analysis of penetration phenomenon of bumper plate which is installed outside of spacecraft hull to protect the spacecraft against hypervelocity meteorite impact. Effects of SPH parameters, such as artificial viscosities, smoothing lengths, numbers of particles and time increments, are analysed by comparing the SPH simulation results with experimental ones with regard to subsequent formation of debris cloud. An optimum range of parameter values is determined by error analysis and various SPH numerical results are compared with experiments.

평활입자동역학법(SPH, Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics)은 도수, 댐붕괴류, 쇄파 등과 같이 수면 변동이 큰 유체 역학 문제를 해결하기 위한 무격자법 중의 하나이다. SPH법을 이용하여 1.5에서 8.0 범위의 여러 가지 Froude 수에 대하여 도수를 모의하였다. 또한, SPH의 모의 결과와 비교 검토하기 위해 실험실 수로에 물리모형을 구축하였다. 도수 전면의 위치와 도수 후의 수심을 대상으로 수리실험과 수치모의 결과를 비교하였다. 그 결과 Froude 수가 5 미만일 때, 수치모의결과는 물리 모형과 비교적 잘 일치하였으나, Froude 수가 클 때는 오차가 커지는 경향을 보였다. 이처럼 수치 모의의 결과가 물리 모형과 차이를 보이는 주요 이유는 점성의 처리와 난류에 따른 와도와 관련이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서, 이 문제는 난류모형을 도입하면 어느 정도 개선될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

평활입자동역학법(SPH, Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics)은 붕괴파(도수, 댐붕괴류, 쇄파) 등과 같이 수면 변동이 큰 유체 역학 문제를 해결하기 위한 무격자법 중의 하나이다. SPH를 이용한 붕괴파의 모의에서는 압력, 점성, 밀도(압축성), 척력 등 다양한 계산 인자가 필요하다. 이들 인자가 SPH 모의 결과에 미치는 영향을 도수와 댐붕괴류에 대해서 검토하였다. 그 결과 압력과 관련하여, 상태 방정식 계수로 표현되는 유체의 음속은 입자들의 흩어짐 현상과 밀접한 관계를 가지는 것을 밝혀내었다. 평활 거리는 수치해의 안정성과 밀접한 관련이 있으며, 너무 작거나 크게 설정하는 경우 해의 정확도가 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 일반적으로 2차원 문제의 경우 20~23개 정도의 입자가 해의 내삽에 사용되는 것이 바람직하다.

This paper is concerned with numerical simulation of hypervelocity impacts(HVIs) of a projectile on laminated composite plate targets using SPH method. A one-parameter visco-plasticity model and damage model is used to describe the HVIs response of composite materials. The numerical simulation was carried out for a steel projectile striking to aluminum plate targets and for an aluminum projectile striking to laminated graphite/epoxy (Gr/Ep) composite plate targets. Through the numerical simulation, comparison with the HVIs response of isotropic materials and composite materials is discussed.

The optimal parameters for the fluid-structure interaction analysis using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) for fluids and finite elements for structures, respectively, are explored, and the effectiveness of the simulations with those parameters is validated by solving several open surface fluid problems. For the optimization of the Equation of State (EOS) and the simulation parameters such as the time step, initial particle spacing, and smoothing length factor, a dam-break problem and deflection of an elastic plate is selected, and the least squares analysis is performed on the simulation results. With the optimal values of the pivotal parameters, the accuracy of the simulation is validated by calculating the exerted force on a moving solid column in the open surface fluid. Overall, the SPH-FEM coupled simulation is very effective to calculate the fluid-structure interaction. However, the relevant parameters should be carefully selected to obtain accurate results.
