Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

In this project, we have proposed a unified numerical approach for the investigation of complex fluid and multiscale flow problems based on a purely Lagrangian, meshless method, i.e. Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). In order to test the robustness and flexibility of the technique, we have considered two different classes of problems: (1) mesoscopic dynamics of colloids; (2) Lagrangian turbulence. Concerning part (1), the central objective has been accomplished through the development, implementation and validation of a SPH model for the simulation of nanosize structures (solid/flexible) of arbitrary shape suspended in a continuum medium (Newtonian or non- Newtonian). Investigation of the macroscopic rheological behaviour of very concentrated suspensions in terms of the micro-mechanical model parameters has been also successfully performed during the second phase. With respect to (2), we have investigated the possible use of implicit 'sub-particle' scale models to describe turbulent flows based on the atomistic viscosities - inherently present in the method. In particular in the phase 2, we have gained a better understanding of the subscale energy transfer in standard SPH and proposed a model to correct its behaviour based on a LES hyperviscosity approach. Analysis has been performed under controlled situations, namely simple shear flow, forced isotropic and decaying turbulence showing promising results. Finally, the unified particle model has been casted into an efficient parallel simulation code, named Multiscale Complex Fluids (MCF) used by the group members at the host institution.
