Title: Free surface flows using inverse smoothed particle hydrodynamics
Abstract: Free surface flow problems including mixing processes in dam break flows and wave breaking phenomena are characterized by large deformation of the free surface. As such, they cannot be easily investigated by analytical and numerical mesh based models. In this paper a new method called un-smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH-i) solver is tested to study how well it can capture wave breaking and mixing of water bodies in 2D dam-break flows over wet beds. The model captures the breaking and mixing processes relatively well when compared against experimental results. Therefore, it can be inferred that the capability of the proposed model to predict the development and evolution of breaking waves as well as the interface at the water-water interface in dam-break mixing processes has been demonstrated.
