A Novel Post Process Method For Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics by Interpolation on Specified Slice Plane

Abstract

Abstract The smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is widely used in numerical simulations as a kind of meshless method. The particles are used to represent object, which is a fully Lagrangian modeling scheme without the need to define a spatial mesh so it can simulate large deformation. The classic post process method cannot visualize the simulation results smoothly, so a novel post processing method is proposed in this paper. By developing a program, the coordinates and field variables of particles were collected to a file. Using the kernel function, the field variable on a specified slice plane was interpolated. By developing a program, the simulation results have been rendered smoothly. This method is illustrated by a penetration example in this paper.
