Free surface flow simulations using the Particle Finite Element Method
Please login to view abstract download link
The Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) is an appealing method for the simulation of highly deforming domains, as is the case for example in free surface flows. In PFEM, a new triangulation of the particles is required at each time step, creating a mesh on which the fluid equations are solved. To ensure a high quality mesh at all times and lower the cost of the triangulation operation, we propose a novel approach based on principles of constrained Delaunay triangulation. Simulations such as sloshing, droplet splashing and water column collapsing show the accuracy and efficiency of the method.
