Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The continuous search for more effective and efficient numerical methods for use in various complicated flows has been one of the most active research areas in marine and ocean engineering. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for the presentation and discussion of the most recent developments in the particle-/grid-based methods and their applications for ship and offshore structures in various conditions. Our aim is to publish novel ideas and methods in an open access format to accelerate the spread of novel ideas among researchers in the community.

Following the success of the first edition of this Special Issue, the purpose of this second edition is to further encourage high-quality papers on both novel algorithms (including machine learning algorithms) and practical applications. In order to provide comprehensive insights into the development of this research area, this Special Issue invited both review and original research papers.

Numerical methods:

  • Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method
  • Moving Particle Semi-implicit method
  • Discrete Vortex Method
  • Discrete Element Method
  • Particle in Cell
  • Lattice Boltzmann method
  • Boundary Element Method
  • Finite difference, finite volume, and finite element methods
  • Hybrid particle-grid methods
  • Machine Learning (ML) algorithms/methods

Applications:

  • Sloshing
  • Slamming
  • Green water
  • Hydroelasticity
  • Ship-ice-water interaction

To improve the accuracy of solving the Poisson equation and the efficiency of handling complex boundary shapes in the particle method, this paper proposes a Local Regular-distributed Background Particles (LRBP) as an alternative to traditional boundary handling methods. This method avoids the trouble of arranging virtual particles by introducing background particles, making it suitable for problems with complex boundary shapes. In addition, based on the framework of the weak form Poisson equation, the boundary conditions are easily applied, and the calculations are more accurate. Furthermore, this method allows for different interpolation methods inside and outside the boundary, providing flexibility and versatility. These characteristics are well demonstrated in the validation examples, which indicate its potential to solve complex flow problems. Full article

This study proposes a new wall boundary condition for the grid-stamping on a polygon (G-StoP) model, which enables a simpler and more efficient handling of boundary surfaces of arbitrarily complex-shaped bodies represented using polygons (or meshes). For example, computer-aided design surface data can be used to analyze flow using a particle-based fluid-solver moving particle semi-implicit method. For coupling simulations of fluid–multibody dynamics, the Pusan-National-University-modified MPS method is improved, and the coupling analysis is performed using RecurDyn, a commercial software package for multibody (or flexible multibody) dynamics. To confirm the applicability of the developed G-StoP model, hydrostatic pressure simulations are conducted in a rectangular tank at various corner angles. Then, the hydrostatic pressure results are compared with previously proposed polygonal wall boundary model results and theoretical solutions. That is, in the case with a corner angle of 30°, it was confirmed that the relative error to the experiment of the polygon model was 11.3%, while that of the G-StoP model was 1.3%. This demonstrates that the proposed G-StoP model is exceptional for numerical stability and robustness even when it is difficult to secure information on neighboring particles as the corner angle of the object becomes small. In addition, the G-StoP model was applied to dam breaking, subaerial landslide tsunami, and wine sloshing problems, and its accuracy and applicability were tested through comparison with experimental and other simulation results. As a result, it was shown that the present simulation results were much closer to the experiments than other simulations. Full article
