@Alex For propeller cavitation, it seems currently openFOAM can not give out accurate results, i was thinking whether SPH can provide some alternatives to this.
Further more, what do you think the typical application of SPH could be?
Q: what do you think the typical application of SPH could be? R: just several examples: i) interaction of extreme waves with floating devices where violent non-linear impact occurs: slamming, green overtopping, large displacement ii) interaction between dam-breaks and small solids (debris flows) iii) interaction between waves and blocks of the outer layer of a porous breakwater that can be moved due to wave force iv) multiphase flows soil-water with large deformations
However the problem of propeller will need a SPH code with: - accurate turbulence model - boundary layer perfectly defined - dynamic particle refinement Other codes include already these functionalities that will help with the propeller, however most of them are not open source
Comments
Kind regards
Please, be aware the SPH simulations should be performed specially when other models present limitations
