Coupled fluid-structure interactions of natural convection in a ferrofluid using ISPH method

This study aims to use incompressible version of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) method for simulating natural convection flow of hot sloshing baffle inside a ferrofluid-filled cavity including the motion of cold circular cylinder. ISPH method is developed by using kernel renormalization func...
