Abstract
Owing to challenges encountered by mesh-based CFD methods when simulating large material deformation, a number of meshfree methods have been presented. The optimized transportation meshfree method is a newly developed meshfree method, but it inherits the advantage of the finite element method in boundary treatment and thus having great potential applications in surface tension effect simulation. By adding the surface tension potential into the Lagrangian, the resulting generalized force acts on fluid surfaces exactly. The axial symmetry treatment is also discussed. By simulating several benchmark cases such as two- and three-dimensional Poiseuille flow, static and vibrating drop and drop deformation, the advantages like precision and convergence of the optimized transportation meshfree method in simulating surface tension effect are verified.
