Abstract: A simple and easy algorithm is presented for a fast calculation of kernel functions which required in fluid simulations using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) method. Present proposed algorithm improves the Linked-list algorithm and adopts the Pair-Wise Interaction technique, which are widely used for evaluating kernel functions in fluid simulations using the SPH method. The algorithm is easy to be implemented without any complexities in programming. Some benchmark examples are used to show the simulation time saved by using the proposed algorithm. Parametric studies on the number of divisions for sub-domains, smoothing length and total amount of particles are conducted to show the effectiveness of the present technique. A compact formulation is proposed for practical usage.
Abstract: Based on the thermodynamic theory, the dependence of
sublimation energy of metal on temperature and pressure is discussed,
and the results indicate that the sublimation energy decreases linearly
with the increase of temperature and pressure. Combined with this
result, the blow-off impulse of aluminum induced by pulsed X-ray is
simulated by smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The
numerical results show that, while the change of sublimation energy
with temperature and pressure is considered, the blow-off impulse of
aluminum is larger than the case that the sublimation energy is
assumed to be a constant.
