Abstract
The moving particle semi-implicit method is a meshless particle method for incompressible fluid and has proven useful in a wide variety of engineering applications of free-surface flows. Despite its wide applicability, the moving particle semi-implicit method has the defects of spurious unphysical pressure oscillation. Three various divergence approximation formulas, including basic divergence approximation formula, difference divergence approximation formula, and symmetric divergence approximation formula are proposed in this paper. The proposed three divergence approximation formulas are then applied for discretization of source term in pressure Poisson equation. Two numerical tests, including hydrostatic pressure problem and dam-breaking problem, are carried out to assess the performance of different formulas in enhancing and stabilizing the pressure calculation. The results demonstrate that the pressure calculated by basic divergence approximation formula and difference divergence approximation formula fluctuates severely. However, application of symmetric divergence approximation formula can result in a more accurate and stabilized pressure.
