Abstract :
The water wave generation by wave paddle and a freely falling rigid body are examined by using an Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (ISPH). In the current ISPH method, the pressure was evaluated by solving pressure Poisson equation using a semi-implicit algorithm based on the projection scheme and the source term of pressure Poisson equation contains both of divergence free velocity field and density invariance condition. Here, the fluid-structure interaction is introduced in free surface flows and the structure is taken as a rigid body motion. In this study, we generated the water waves using the Scott Russell wave generator, in which the heavy box sinking vertically into water. Also, the solitary wave is generated by using the wave paddle and the generated solitary wave profiles are compared with the available results with a good agreement. Free falling of torpedo over the water in tank was simulated by using 3D-ISPH method.
