Abstract:
To address the issues of fluid-solid coupling, instability in the liquid two-phase flow, poor computational efficiency, treating the free surface as a slip wall, and neglecting the movement of oil booms in simulating oil spill containment, this study adopts the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method to establish a numerical model for solid-liquid coupling and liquid two-phase flow, specifically designed for oil boom containment and control. The DualSPHysics solver is employed for numerical simulations, incorporating optimized SPH techniques and eight different skirt configurations of the oil boom into the numerical model of two-phase liquid interaction. By setting relevant parameters in the SPH code to enhance computational efficiency, the variations in centroid, undulation, and stability of undulation velocity for different oil boom shapes are observed. The experimental results demonstrate that the improved oil boom exhibits superior oil containment performance. These findings provide a theoretical basis for the design of oil boom skirt structures.
