    Notes: Abstract The present paper deals with the finite element analysis of two-dimensional two-layer density flows in a gravitational field. A fluid in each layer is replaced with a large number of discrete particles, and the motion and deformation of each layer is represented by moving those particles in a Lagrangian manner. The velocity distribution in the whole fluid region is given as the finite element solution of the Navier-Stokes equations and the equation of continuity. In the finite element calculation, free-slip conditions are used on solid wall boundaries because no-slip conditions may cause sticking of some particles to walls. Then, a new technique for the implementation of free-slip conditions on arbitrary curved boundaries is presented. As numerical examples, density flows in a rectangular closed container and Rayleigh-Taylor instability in the container with a circular cross-section have been computed.

    Notes: A new version of a numerical algorithm for the Lagrangian treatment of incompressible fluid flows with free surfaces is developed. The novel features of the present method are the adoptions of the Lagrangian finite element method and the velocity correction technique. The use of the velocity correction approach makes the computational scheme extremely simple in algorithmic structure. Hence, the present method is particularly attractive for large-scale problems. The techniques discussed here are applied to some two-dimensional sloshing problems, which may indicate the versatility and effectiveness of the present method.

    Notes: A new numerical method has been developed for the analysis of unsteady free surface flow problems. The problem under consideration is formulated mathematically as a two-dimensional non-linear initial boundary value problem with unknown quantities of a velocity potential and a free surface profile. The basic equations are discretized spacewise with a boundary element method and timewise with a truncated forward-time Taylor series. The key feature of the present paper lies in the method used to compute the time derivatives of the unknown quantities in the Taylor series.The use of the Taylor series expansion has enabled us to employ a variable time-stepping method. The size of time increment is determined at each time step so that the remainders of the truncated Taylor series should be equal to a given small error limit. Such a variable time-stepping technique has made a great contribution to numerically stable computations.A wave-making problem in a two-dimensional rectangular water tank has been analysed. The computational accuracy has been verified by comparing the present numerical results with available experimental data. Good agreement is obtained.

    Notes: A numerical method based on the finite element method is presented for simulating the two-dimensional transient motion of a viscous liquid with free surfaces. For ease of numerical treatment of the free surface expressed by a multiple-valued function, the marker particle method is employed. Numerous virtual particles are spread over all regions occupied by liquid. They move about on a fixed finite element mesh with the liquid velocity at their positions. These particles contribute nothing to the dynamics of the liquid and only serve as markers of liquid regions. The velocity field within liquid regions is calculated by solving the Navier- Stokes equations and the equation of continuity by the finite element method based on quadrilateral elements. A detailed discussion is given of the methodological problems arising in the implementation of the marker particle method on an unstructured finite element mesh and of the solutions to these problems. The proposed method is demonstrated on three sample problems: the broken dam problem, the impact of a falling liquid drop on a still liquid and the entry of a rigid block into water. Good agreement has been obtained in the comparison of the present numerical results with available experimental data.

    Notes: A nonlinear analysis is carried out for the motion of the inviscid, incompressible fluid in a two-dimensional, rigid, open container which is subjected to forced sinusoidal pitching oscillation. Firstly, the problem is defined as a nonlinear initial-boundary value problem by the use of a governing differential equation and boundary conditions. Next, the problem is formulated in the form of a pseudo-variational principle, which provides a basis for our discretization. The finite element method and finite difference method are used spacewise and timewise, respectively. Due to the strong nonlinearity of the problem, an incremental method is used for the numerical analysis. Numerical results obtained by the present method are compared with solutions of the linear theory and experimental data. The difference between linear and nonlinear analysis has been clearly indicated.

    Notes: This paper deals with an application of the boundary element method to the analysis of nonlinear sloshing problems, namely nonlinear oscillations of a liquid in a container subjected to forced oscillations. First, the problem is formulated mathematically as a nonlinear initial-boundary value problem by the use of a governing differential equation and boundary conditions, assuming the fluid to be inviscid and incompressible and the flow to be irrotational. Next, the governing equation (Laplace equation) and boundary conditions, except the dynamic boundary condition on the free surface, are transformed into an integral equation by employing the Galerkin method. Two dynamic boundary condition is reduced to a weighted residual equation by employing the Galerkin method. Two equations thus obtained are discretized by the use of the finite element method spacewise and the finite difference method timewise. Collocation method is employed for the discretization of the integral equation. Due to the nonlinearity of the problem, the incremental method is used for the numerical analysis.Numerical results obtained by the present boundary element method are compared with those obtained by the conventional finite element method and also with existing analytical solutions of the nonlinear theory. Good agreements are obtained, and this indicates the availability of the boundary element method as a numerical technique for nonlinear free surface fluid problems.

    Notes: A new boundary element technique based on Green's formula is applied to the analysis of nonlinear water wave problems. The problems are formulated mathematically as two-dimensional nonlinear initial-boundary value problems in terms of a velocity potential, assuming the fluid to be inviscid and incompressible, and the flow to be irrotational.In the present paper, two kinds of wave-making problems are analysed: (1) a tsunami generated by sea bed elevation; (2) generation, propagation and run-up on a vertical wall of a solitary wave. Numerical results obtained by the present method are compared with available experimental data and analytical solutions. Excellent agreements are obtained.
