Moving Particle Semi-implicit Method

Moving Particle Semi-implicit Method: Recent Developments and Applications offers detailed step-by-step guidance for advanced numerical models in the MPS method. With a strong focus on overcoming challenges, such as low improving accuracy and numerical stability, the book also examines the applications of MPS, particularly within nuclear engineering. Beginning with an introduction to grid-based and particle-based numerical methods, the book then reviews the original MPS method. Following chapters examine how the original method can be improved, covering topics such as improved discretization models, stabilization methods, multiphase flow and turbulence models, and improving efficiency. Closing chapters analyze applications in nuclear and ocean engineering, as well as considering future developments and implications. This book is an essential read for graduates, researchers and engineers interested in nuclear engineering and computational fluid dynamics. - Presents detailed information on the advanced numerical models in the Moving Particle Semi-Implicit (MPS) method, including the improved discretization scheme, stabilization method, boundary condition, multiphase flow and fluid-structure interaction - Provides the latest advances in improving the accuracy, stability and consistency of the MPS method - Highlights the nuclear and ocean engineering applications of MPS

Gen Li is a professor at South China University of Technology. He got his PhD degree from Waseda University, Japan, in 2015, and then joined the faculty of the Xi'an Jiaotong University, China. In 2021, he moved to South China University of Technology where he is currently working. Prof. Li has been working on the particle method development and the method application in nuclear engineering for many years. He proposed an axisymmetric multiphase Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MPS) method and applied the MPS method to the simulations of nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics and severe accident phenomena. He has published more than 30 journal papers and got three projects from National Natural Science Foundation of China and Ministry of Science and Technology of China. He is an active member of the China Nuclear Society and has close collaboration with other international research institutions.
