MS032 - Advances and Applications of Particle and Meshfree Methods in Continuum Mechanics
Keywords: Continuum Mechanics, Meshfree method, Multiphysics, Particle method
Particle and meshfree methods have established themselves as robust computational frameworks for capturing large deformations and complex topological changes in continuum mechanics. However, ensuring high-order consistency and numerical stability remains a fundamental challenge. This minisymposium provides a multidisciplinary forum for discussing novel formulations, high-fidelity numerical schemes, and their practical implementations. We focus on the development of advanced spatial discretization, high-order time integration, and efficient algorithms for incompressible and multi-phase systems. Key topics of interest include consistent boundary treatments, particle shifting techniques, multi-resolution and adaptive resolution schemes, and multi-physics coupling such as fluid-structure interaction. While emphasizing fundamental methodological advancements, we strongly encourage contributions addressing industrial applications and rigorous validation, highlighting the potential of next-generation particle methods in solving demanding engineering challenges.
This minisymposium is organized in honor of Prof. Seiichi Koshizuka, recognizing his long-standing contributions to the development, improvement, and industrial application and dissemination of particle methods
