Abstract

This paper presents a novel numerical approach based on the Particle–In–Cell (PIC) technique for
the solution of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with emphasis on free surface deformation and two–way fluid-solid interactions. As a hybrid Eulerian–Lagrangian approach, this method has the flexibility of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) method as well as the efficiency of an Eulerian method.
Two–way fluid–solid interaction simulation has been integrated inside the numerical model by adopting the Distributed Lagrangian Multiplier (DLM) technique.
