Motivated by recent research on the iterative approach proposed for smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) method, some ideas to improve process are introduced. The standard procedure is enhanced iterating residuals preserving matrix-free nature of process. method appealing providing reasonable results with disordered data distribution too and no kernel variations needed in approximation. This ...

breaking waves have ability to transport large quantities of sediment and significant impact on coastal structures morphology. hence, modeling of wave breaking is an important subject in coastal and marine engineering. in this research, the periodic wave breaking process on a plane slope is studied experimentally and numerically. laboratory experiments were conducted to record water surface ele...

the current manuscript presents the validation of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (sph) techniques for wave generation by underwater explosion, utilizing the so-called dualsphysics numerical model. this numerical method is used to analyze generated waves which are initiated by man-made or natural explosions below free surface level of sea. in spite of the modeling limitations (e.g. absence of o...
