Further investigation of the spurious interface fragmentation in multiphase Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

Abstract

This article presents results of further investigation of the problem of spurious interface fragmentation in the multiphase SPH. In order to remove arising instabilities, many authors introduced the artificial interface correction procedure. In the present paper we show that the interface instabilities are physical and the introduction of the interface correction procedure may leads to non-physical solutions. We also explain the puzzling relation between the parameters $\varepsilon$ and $h$. The analysis is performed on the basis of the stability analysis and numerical calculations using SPH and Volume Of Fluid (VOF) approach.
