Two‐particle debris flow simulation based on SPH

Abstract Debris flow is a highly destructive natural disaster, necessitating accurate simulation and prediction. Existing simulation methods tend to be overly simplified, neglecting the three‐dimensional complexity and multiphase fluid interactions, and they also lack comprehensive consideration of soil conditions. We propose a novel two‐particle debris flow simulation method based on smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) for enhanced accuracy. Our method employs a sophisticated two‐particle model coupling debris flow dynamics with SPH to simulate fluid‐solid interaction effectively, which considers various soil factors, dividing terrain into variable and fixed areas, incorporating soil impact factors for realistic simulation. By dynamically updating positions and reconstructing surfaces, and employing GPU and hash lookup acceleration methods, we achieve accurate simulation with significantly efficiency. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of our method across different conditions, making it valuable for debris flow risk assessment in natural disaster management.
