Abstract:

Regarding the reported capabilities and the simplifications of the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, as a mesh-free technique in numerical simulations of the deformation processes, a 2-D approach on cold rolling process was provided. Using and examining SPH on rolling process not only caused some minor developments on SPH techniques but revealed some physical realities. The chosen test case for rolling is an aluminum strip: Al 6061. In this way, the rolls assumed to behave as rigid bodies and, the aluminum strip assumed to behave as an elastic-plastic continuum. In order to achieve the required assurance of the employed technique, the computed stress distribution patterns were compared with those reported from a finite element study, and the results showed good agreements. Moreover, as the final main test, the effect of some affective parameters; roll diameter, percentage of thickness reduction of the strip, and the rolling speed has been studied. In current study not only some developments of using the SPH technique were achieved, but also, could present the capability of the SPH for more simple numerical approaches for such complicated deformation processes.

Incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics

We present a smoothed particle hydrodynamic model for incompressible fluids. As opposed to solving a pressure Poisson equation in order to get a divergence-free velocity field, here incompressibility is achieved by requiring as a kinematic constraint that the volume of the fluid particles is constant. We use Lagrangian multipliers to enforce this restriction. These Lagrange multipliers play the...

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics :

We investigate the core mass distribution (CMD) resulting from numerical models of turbulent fragmentation of molecular clouds. In particular we study its dependence on the sonic rms Mach numberMs. We analyze simulations withMs ranging from 1 to 15 to show that, asMs increases, the number of cores increases as well, while their average mass decreases. This stems from the fact that high Mach num...

Lagrangian Fluid Dynamics using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

Computational fluid dynamics is a hot topic in Computer Graphics. The capability to reproduce realistic fluids numerically has gained an increased interest the last decade. Grid-based methods have been favored the most to solve the mathematical equations for fluid flow, but often they lack the ability to create interactive fluid simulations together with detailed fluid surfaces. Interactive flu...
