Toward a 2D SPH multiphysic code with solid-solid & fluid interactions for industrial related problems

This paper gathers basic principles and literature suggestions on the SPH method from an engineering point of view and for multiphysic applications. This practical review is done through the presentation of a code in which these features have been developed. Applications of the method to industrial related issues are considered by starting from an existing open-source 2D SPH code, namely the SPHYSICS code, which offers an effective ground for numerical developments. Firstly, the different features added to obtain an operational code needed for engineering applications are described, offering a kind of review of SPH methods for engineers. Secondly, the validation of the proposed code is partially presented with two test cases. Thirdly, principles of a method to solve solid/solid contacts, frequently present in realistic configuration, are exposed and applied to achieve more complex simulations. ha l-0 04 57 10 8, v er si on 1 16 F eb 2 01 0 Author manuscript, published in "8th International Conference on HydroDynamics (ICHD2008), Nantes : France (2008)"
