Abstract

An acceleration of the particle-based incompressible fluid flow simulations on GPU using CUDA is presented. The particle method is based on the MPS (Moving Particle Semi-implicit) scheme using logarithmic-type weighting function to stabilize the spurious oscillatory solutions for the pressure fields which are governed by Poisson equation. The standard MPS scheme is widely utilized as a particle strategy for the free surface flow, the problem of moving boundary, multi-physics/multi-scale ones, and so forth. Numerical results demonstrate the workability and the validity of the present approach through dam-breaking flow problem.
