In this special issue, we shall provide a forum to present the latest contributions and developments in nonlocal mesh-free particle methods in modeling and simulations of solids and fluids, as well as fluid-structure interaction (FSI). The nonlocal mesh-free particle methods, such as Peridynamics, reproducing kernel particle methods, smoothed particle hydrodynamics, and updated Lagrangian particle hydrodynamics have become important numerical methods in solving many difficult practical problems in engineering science and technology fields such as aerospace, marine, civil, chemical, and biomedical engineering. Traditional computational methods such as the finite element method (FEM) and the finite volume method (FVM) have been widely used to study these problems before. However, these methods have some limitations when dealing with large deformations, fracture and damage, complex geometries, structural failures, and evolving interfaces.
Meshfree particle methods, which do not rely on a fixed computational grid, offer a promising alternative for overcoming these challenges. By using particles to represent the fluid and structural domains, mesh-free methods can simulate the deformation and damage of solids, turbulent fluid motion, and interactions between fluids and structures more naturally and accurately.
This special issue of CMES aims to gather the latest research and developments in the field of nonlocal mesh-free particle methods for solids, fluids, and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) to advance the state-of-the-art nonlocal computational methods.
