On experiments to validate computational models to describe liquid structure impact

摘要

Classical fluid dynamic codes are inadequate in describing severe distortion or splashing of a liquid impacting on a deformable structure. The recently developed discrete particle methods were expected to overcome the difficulties. In these methods, the liquid is modelled by an assemblage of discrete particles; in every time step different particles interact with one another or with the boundaries. Consequently, description of distortion or splashing of the liquid should not represent a problem.
