Abstract

The application of a CPU/GPU-based particle method to dam-breaking incompressible viscous fluid flow problems is presented. The particle approach is based on the MPS (Moving Particle Semi-implicit) scheme using logarithmic weighting function to stabilize the spurious oscillatory solutions for solving the Poisson equation with respect to the pressure fields by using GPU-based SCG (Scaled Conjugate Gradient) method. The physics-based computer graphics for the results of three-dimensional simulation consist of the POV-Ray (Persistence of Vision Raytracer) rendering using marching cubes algorithm as polygonization. Numerical results demonstrate the workability and the validity of the present approach through the dam-breaking flow problem.
