Advanced numerical treatment of an accurate SPH method
2019
The summation of Gaussian kernel functions is an expensive operation frequently encountered in scientific simulation algorithms and several methods have been already proposed to reduce its computational cost. In this work, the Improved Fast Gauss Transform (IFGT) [1] is properly applied to the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method [2] in order to speed up its efficiency. A modified version of the SPH method is considered in order to overcome the loss of accuracy of the standard formulation [3]. A suitable use of the IFGT allows us to reduce the computational effort while tuning the desired accuracy into the SPH framework. This technique, coupled with an algorithmic design for exploit…
Numerical insights of an improved SPH method
2018
In this paper we discuss on the enhancements in accuracy and computational demanding in approximating a function and its derivatives via Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics. The standard method is widely used nowadays in various physics and engineering applications [1],[2],[3]. However it suffers of low approximation accuracy at boundaries or when scattered data distributions is considered. Here we reformulate the original method by means of the Taylor series expansion and by employing the kernel function and its derivatives as projection functions and integrating over the problem domain [3]. In this way, accurate estimates of the function and its derivatives are simultaneously provided and no …
