Abstract

A hybrid VOF and PIC multi-material interface treatment method for Eulerian method is presented in this study in order to solve the problem that the Eulerian method is not robust enough to treat the dynamic fracture of material. This treatment method is used in the important computational region such as the material interface, large deformation region and fracture region where more particles are added for calculation, while the continuous transport method is used in the other regions. Through this method, a series of penetration problems such as blunt projectile penetration into the steel target and steel projectile penetration into concert target are numerically simulated. The comparison of the numerical result and experimental result shows that the hybrid algorithm can effectively track the deformation in the process of penetration and also insure precision and efficiency.
