Abstract

This paper presents a novel numerical approach based on the Particle-In-Cell (PIC) technique for the solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with emphasis on free surface deformation and two-way fluid-solid interactions. As a hybrid Eulerian-Lagrangian approach, this method has the exibility of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) method as well as the efficiency of an
Eulerian method.
Two-way fluid solid-interaction simulation has been integrated inside the numerical model by adopting the Distributed Lagrangian Multiplier (DLM) technique proposed in Patankar [7].
