This study presents a new method for modeling the interaction between compressible flow, shock waves, and deformable structures, emphasizing destructive dynamics. Extending advances in time-splitting compressible flow and the Material Point Methods (MPM), we develop a hybrid Eulerian and Lagrangian/Eulerian scheme for monolithic flow-structure interactions. We adopt the second-order WENO scheme to advance the continuity equation. To stably resolve deforming boundaries with sub-cell particles, we propose a blending treatment of reflective and passable boundary conditions inspired by the theory of porous media. The strongly coupled velocity-pressure system is discretized with a new mixed-order finite element formulation employing B-spline shape functions. Shock wave propagation, temperature/density-induced buoyancy effects, and topology changes in solids are unitedly captured.

Lagrangian–Eulerian multidensity topology optimization with the material point method
Abstract In this paper, a hybrid Lagrangian–Eulerian topology optimization (LETO) method is proposed to solve the elastic force equilibrium with the Material Point Method (MPM). LETO transfers density information from freely movable Lagrangian carrier particles to a fixed set of Eulerian quadrature points. This transfer is based on a smooth radial kernel involved in the compliance objective to avoid the artificial checkerboard pattern. The quadrature points act as MPM particles embedded in a lower‐resolution grid and enable a subcell multidensity resolution of intricate structures with a reduced computational cost. A quadrature‐level connectivity graph‐based method is adopted to avoid the artificial checkerboard issues commonly existing in multiresolution topology optimization methods. Numerical experiments are provided to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach.

Abstract This article presents high order accurate discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for wave problems on moving curved meshes with general choices of basis and quadrature. The proposed method adopts an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian formulation to map the wave equation from a time‐dependent moving physical domain onto a fixed reference domain. For moving curved meshes, weighted mass matrices must be assembled and inverted at each time step when using explicit time‐stepping methods. We avoid this step by utilizing an easily invertible weight‐adjusted approximation. The resulting semi‐discrete weight‐adjusted DG scheme is provably energy stable up to a term that (for a fixed time interval) converges to zero with the same rate as the optimal error estimate. Numerical experiments using both polynomial and B‐spline bases verify the high order accuracy and energy stability of proposed methods.more » « less

Abstract A dataset consisting of numerically simulated oceanic velocities and sea surface height changes, provided conjointly from Eulerian and Lagrangian points of view, is made available as cloud-optimized archives on a cloud storage platform for unrestricted access. The Eulerian component of the dataset comprises oceanic velocity components at 0 m and 15 m depth, as well as total and steric sea surface height changes, obtained at hourly time steps for one year, with an approximate horizontal resolution of 1/25 degree on an irregular global geographical spatial grid, from the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model. The Lagrangian component of the dataset comprises the trajectories of particles advected in the Eulerian velocity field of the model. The particles were advected forward and backward for 30 days from a regular 1/4 degree grid in order to achieve 60-day long trajectories at 0 m and 15 m depths, with start times separated by 30 days, in 11 releases. This integrated dataset may help to link Eulerian and Lagrangian observational perspectives.more » « less

We propose theadaptive hybrid particle-grid flow mapmethod, a novel flow-map approach that leverages Lagrangian particles to simultaneously transport impulse and guide grid adaptation, introducing a fully adaptive flow map-based fluid simulation framework. The core idea of our method is to maintain flow-map trajectories separately on grid nodes and particles: the grid-based representation tracks long-range flow maps at a coarse spatial resolution, while the particle-based representation tracks both long and short-range flow maps, enhanced by their gradients, at a fine resolution. This hybrid Eulerian-Lagrangian flow-map representation naturally enables adaptivity for both advection and projection steps. We implement this method inCirrus, a GPU-based fluid simulation framework designed for octree-like adaptive grids enhanced with particle trackers. The efficacy of our system is demonstrated through numerical tests and various simulation examples, achieving up to 512 × 512 × 2048 effective resolution on an RTX 4090 GPU. We achieve a 1.5 to 2× speedup with our GPU optimization over the Particle Flow Map method on the same hardware, while the adaptive grid implementation offers efficiency gains of one to two orders of magnitude by reducing computational resource requirements.

Abstract Shock waves in geological materials are characterized by a sudden release of rapidly expanding gas, liquid, and solid particles. These shock waves may occur due to explosive volcanic eruptions or be artificially triggered. In fact, underground explosions have often been used as an engineering solution for large‐scale excavation, stimulating oil and gas recovery, creating cavities for underground waste storage, and even extinguishing gas field fires. As such, hydrocodes capable of simulating the rapid and significant deformation under extreme conditions can be a valuable tool for ensuring the safety of the explosions. Nevertheless, as most of the hydrocodes are often formulated in an Eulerian grid, this setting makes it non‐trivial to track the deformation configuration of the materials without a level set. The objective of this paper is to propose the use of the material point method equipped with appropriate equation of state (EOS) models as a hydrocode suitable to simulate underground explosions of transverse isotropic geomaterials. To capture the anisotropic effect of the common layered soil deposits, we introduce a new MPM hydrocode where an anisotropic version of the Mie‐Gruneisen EOS is coupled with a frictional Drucker‐Prager plasticity model to replicate the high‐strain‐rate constitutive responses of soil. By leveraging the Lagrangian nature of material points to capture the historical dependence and the Eulerian calculation of internal force, the resultant model is capable of simulating the rapid evolution of geometry of the soil as well as the high‐strain‐rate soil mechanics of anisotropic materials.more » « less
