A coupled Finite Volume-Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method for incompressible flows

摘要

An hybrid approach is proposed which allows to combine Finite Volume Method (FVM) and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). The method is based on the partitioning of the computational domain into a portion discretized with a structured grid of hexahedral elements (the FVM-domain) and a portion filled with Lagrangian particles (the SPH-domain), separated by an interface made of triangular elements.
