Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a numerical method commonly used in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to simulate complex free-surface flows. Simulations with this mesh-free particle far exceed the capacity of single processor. In paper, as part dual-functioning code for either central processing units (CPUs) or Graphics Processor Units (GPUs), parallelisation using GPUs presented. The GPU technique uses Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) nVidia devices. more than one...
Roads can experience runoff problems due to the intense rain discharge associated severe storms. Two advanced tools are combined analyse interaction of complex water flows with real terrains. UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) photogrammetry is employed obtain accurate topographic information on small areas, typically order a few hectares. The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) technique applied by means DualSPHysics model compute trajectory flow during extreme events. use engineering...
The capabilities of SPH models to deal with complex scenarios involving real geometries and extreme events are shown for different applications.The model not only is able capture the main features flows, but also allows including objects that can move due force exerted by fluid.This special interest reproduce flooding coastal areas, where water cars, pieces urban furniture or debris.
