Abstract
An incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) method is developed for the modeling of multiphase Newtonian and inelastic non-Newtonian flows at low density ratios. This new method is the multiphase extension of Xenakis et al, J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech., 218, 1-15, which has been shown to be stable and accurate, with a virtually noise-free pressure field for single-phase non-Newtonian flows. For the validation of the method a semi-analytical solution of a two-phase Newtonian/non-Newtonian (inelastic) Poiseuille flow is derived. The developed method is also compared with the benchmark multiphase case of the Rayleigh Taylor instability and a submarine landslide, thereby demonstrating capability in both Newtonian/Newtonian and Newtonian/non-Newtonian two-phase applications. Comparisons with analytical solutions, experimental and previously published results are conducted and show that the proposed methodology can accurately predict the free-surface and interface profiles of complex incompressible multi-phase flows at low-density ratios relevant, for example, to geophysical environmental applications.
