A new smoothed particle hydrodynamics method based on high-order moving-least-square targeted essentially non-oscillatory scheme for compressible flows

In this study, we establish a hybrid high-order smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) framework (MLS-TENO-SPH) for compressible flows with discontinuities, which is able to achieve genuine high-order convergence in smooth regions and also capture discontinuities well in non-smooth regions. The framework can be either fully Lagrangian, Eulerian or realizing arbitary-Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) feature enforcing the isotropic particle distribution in specific cases. In the proposed framework, the computational domain is divided into smooth regions and non-smooth regions, and these two regions are determined by a strong scale separation strategy in the targeted essentially non-oscillatory (TENO) scheme. In smooth regions, the moving-least-square (MLS) approximation is used for evaluating high-order derivative operator, which is able to realize genuine high-order construction; in non-smooth regions, the new TENO scheme based on Vila's framework with several new improvements will be deployed to capture discontinuities and high-wavenumber flow scales with low numerical dissipation. The present MLS-TENO-SPH method is validated with a set of challenging cases based on the Eulerian, Lagrangian or ALE framework. Numerical results demonstrate that the MLS-TENO-SPH method features lower numerical dissipation and higher efficiency than the conventional method, and can restore genuine high-order accuracy in smooth regions. Overall, the proposed framework serves as a new exploration in high-order SPH methods, which are potential for compressible flow simulations with shockwaves.
