Abstract

En 中文

Phenomena involving general solid-water interactions such as flows with debris are challenging to model numerically because they are not easily represented using solid- or fluid-oriented methods. The material point method (MPM) provides a unified multimaterial interaction platform potentially capable of modeling complex solid-water flow phenomena. However, it is necessary to address volumetric locking for (nearly) incompressible materials when modeling fluids, while also stabilizing integration errors that arise in standard MPM. This paper examines these challenges in depth, and presents a flux-based smoothing algorithm designed to address integration-error-induced destabilization via controlled strain energy dissipation. The effectiveness of the algorithm is demonstrated with two simple but fundamental fluid/solid problems, and with an application to a complex solid-water dynamic interaction problem. Results show the flux-based smoothing algorithm is capable of stabilizing the side-effects of numerical integration errors, while at the same time remaining inactive if there is no integration-error-induced oscillation. Based on this study, the flux-based smoothing algorithm is suggested as a stabilization scheme for MPM when using constant-interpolated hybrid elements. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
