The smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method is used in this paper to model micropolar fluids, with emphasis on their dissipation mechanisms. To this aim, a dissipation function is defined at the particle level which depends on the relative velocity between particles but also on an additional spin degree of freedom, which modifies such relative velocity as well as introduces spin-related intrinsic dissipation mechanisms, comparable to those related to the rate of deformation tensor in Newtonian fluids. This dissipation function is then incorporated within the Lagrangian formalism, leading to a set of SPH particle equations to describe the dynamics. A continuous integral SPH version of the scheme is obtained with a bottom-up derivation which guarantees the consistency of the SPH term.

Abstract
The smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method is used in this paper to model micropolar fluids, with emphasis on their dissipation mechanisms. To this aim, a dissipation function is defined at the particle level which depends on the relative velocity between particles but also on an additional spin degree of freedom, which modifies such relative velocity as well as introduces spin-related intrinsic dissipation mechanisms, comparable to those related to the rate of deformation tensor in Newtonian fluids. This dissipation function is then incorporated within the Lagrangian formalism, leading to a set of SPH particle equations to describe the dynamics. A continuous integral SPH version of the scheme is obtained with a bottom-up derivation which guarantees the consistency of the SPH term. The model is then enriched with two additional terms based exclusively on the spin derivatives, which grant it the maximal generality as an isotropic model for micropolar fluids. Finally, numerical verification and validation tests are documented that show that SPH is capable of accurately modeling this type of dynamics.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
