Animating Fluid Sediment Mixture in Particle-Laden Flows

Ming Gao, Andre Pradhana-Tampubolon, Xuchen Han, Qi Guo, Grant Kot, Eftychios Sifakis, Chenfanfu Jiang

In this paper, we present a mixed explicit and semi-implicit Material Point Method for simulating particle-laden flows. We develop a Multigrid Preconditioned fluid solver for the Locally Averaged Navier-Stokes equation. This is discretized purely on a semi-staggered standard MPM grid. Sedimentation is modeled with the Drucker-Prager elastoplasticity flow rule, enhanced by a novel particle density estimation method for converting particles between representations of either continuum or discrete points. Fluid and sediment are two-way coupled through a momentum exchange force that can be easily resolved with two MPM background grids. We present various results to demonstrate the efficacy of our method.
