Full SPH fluid–shell interaction for leakage simulation in explicit dynamics

Abstract

Abstract This paper is devoted to the modeling of fluid leakage through a shell in case of impact loading. The modeling of the fluid and the shell is based on SPH formulation. The proposed model is devoted to the prediction of failure of a shell filled with fluid. This paper is devoted to the numerical modeling of fluid–structure interaction. The pinballs technique is used for contact analysis. Numerical predictions are compared with analytical as well as with an original experiment. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
