| Summary: | Using the concept of overlapping mesh method for reference, a new method called as Overlapping Clouds of Points Method (OCPM) is firstly proposed to simulate unsteady flow with moving boundary problems based on meshless method. Firstly, a set of static background discrete points is generated in the whole calculation zone. Secondly, moving discrete points are created around moving body. According to the initial position of moving object in the flow field, the two sets of discrete points can be overlapped. With the motion of moving objects in the calculation field, moving discrete points around the moving body will inherently move. The exchange of flow field information between static points and moving points is realized by the solution of the clouds of points made up of static and moving discrete points using weighted meshless method nearby overlapping boundary. Four cases including piston problem, NACA0012 airfoil vibration flow around a moving sphere in supersonic and multibody separation are given to verify accuracy and practicability of OCPM. The numerical results agree well with exact solution and experimental results, which shows that the proposed OCPM can be applied to the simulation of unsteady flow problem.
