Notes:
Deficiencies associated with the simulation of impacts of fluid free surfaces with solid boundaries by use of marker-and-cell methods are identified and addressed. New procedures are introduced that affect the movement of markers in cells adjacent to a solid boundary, the flags of the cells that comprise a solid boundary and the pressure boundary condition for a cell in which impact occurs. Combined with fundamental changes in the sequence of steps in the computational cycle, these new procedures allow the intentional treatment of impact. As a result, improved estimates are obtained of the pressure associated with the cells adjacent to a boundary along which impact occurs. Consequently, more appropriate adjustments are made of the tentative internal velocities associated with such cells. In addition, a special procedure is presented for the adjustment of the tentative internal velocity between two surface cells. Finally, a new cell type termed a corner cell is defined and a procedure for its treatment is presented. Numerical examples are included to illustrate the previous deficiencies associated with the simulation of impact as well as the effectiveness of the new methods presented in this paper. Validation of the new methods is achieved by comparison with experimental results for spillage over a containment dike.
