Design of fuel tanks requires the knowledge of hydrodynamic pressure distribution on the structure. These can be very useful for engineers and designers to define appropriate material properties and shell thickness of the structure to be resistant under s... see more

The present study examines the ability of the SPH number-density scheme to treat multiphase problems of the fully compressible regime. The number-density scheme is extended to the fully compressible regime, using the standard variational SPH framework and... see more

This paper focuses on the application of the Modified Finite Particle Method (MFPM) on incompressibile elasticity problems. MFPM belongs to the class of meshless methods, nowadays widely investigated due to their characteristics of being totally free of a... see more

This paper deals with numerical simulation of fluid-structure interaction as it occurs during aircraft ditching – an emergency condition where an aircraft is forced to land on water. The work is motivated by the requirement for aircraft manufactures to an... see more

The paper describes the ballistic impact test, in which fragment simulating projectiles (FSPs) of a 20-mm-diameter have been used against 40-mmthick plates made of an aluminum alloy AA7020-T651. To perforate plates, the projectiles must have reached a vel... see more

The ricochet means the rebound off a surface and is a very important scenario in engineering applications. The specific case of an impact of a solid steel body on a water surface has been chosen for the ricochet example. This solid body hits the water sur... see more

This paper deals with the implementation of a volume penalization technique in a lattice Boltzmann model, in order to compute flows around obstacles. The penalization term was introduced into the lattice Boltzmann equation via a forcing term. This approac... see more
