Three-dimensional remeshed smoothed particle hydrodynamics for the simulation of isotropic turbulence:
We present a remeshed hybrid particle-mesh method for the simulation of three-dimensional compressible turbulent flow. As a result of the strain of the flow, the mesh free smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) method suffers from particle’s distortion which induces an inaccurate representation of the diffusion effect along with the pressure gradient (rate-of-change of momentum). To overcome this problem we introduce a grid which is used to remesh (reorganise uniformly) the particles to ensure a regular particle distribution and convergence of the method. To take advantage of both the Lagrangian and the Eulerian schemes, the right hand side of the turbulence model is computed on the mesh, and the change of momentum is later interpolated to the particles where the advection takes place. The method is capable of providing quality simulations while maintaining its robustness and versatility.
An Implicit boundary approach:
We couple the hybrid remeshed particle-mesh method with Brinkman penalisation to be able to simulate viscous flow with high Reynolds number where complex geometries are required. A penalty term is added to the Navier-Stokes equations to impose the boundary conditions. The boundary conditions are enforced to a specific precision with no need to change the numerical method or the grid. The remeshed particle-mesh method with Brinkman penalisation provides a good quality simulation and the results showed good agreement with analytical solutions.
The main idea of the Brinkman penalisation method is to model the solid obstacle as a porous medium. The governing equations for compressible fluids and penalised Navier-Stokes for the porous medium are solved simultaneously, therefore there is no need to have an interface conditions in between.
Aims
Our aim is to develop a hybrid Eulerian Lagrangian based numerical method for the solution of viscous compressible/weakly compressible flow characterised with high Reynolds number around complex geometry.

Modelling Blood flow with Thrombus Formation
Blood flow rheology is considered to be a complex area of research. In order to understand the behaviour of blood flow, it is important to identify the key parameters that influence the flow characteristics of blood. Thrombosis plays a crucial role in atherosclerosis or in haemostasis when a blood vessel is injured. We study the flow behaviour of blood and to explore the flow parameters that induces formation of thrombus in a blood vessel. The blood is modelled by particles that have characteristics of plasma and of platelets. To simulate coagulation of platelets that forms thrombus, the spring model is applied between the particles, representing what is called adhesion and aggregation forces, these forces work on the platelet so they adhere and aggregate to close the injured vessel wall and generate the thrombus
