Numerical simulation of seepage problem in porous media

Numerical simulation of seepage problem in porous media

Abstract In the paper, a mesh-free method called smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is presented to deal with seepage problem in porous media. In the SPH method, the computational domain is discredited by means of some nodes, and there is no need for computational domain meshing. Therefore, it ca...
