Modelling of transport and collisions between rigid bodies to simulate the jam formation in urban flows

Blog Article

This study deals with the simulation of transport and interaction betweenbodies considered as Basket a rectangular shape particles, in urban flow.We usedan hydrodynamic two-dimensional finite elements model coupled to theparticles model based on Maxey-Riley equations, and taking into accountof contact between bodies.The finite element discretization is based onthe velocity field richer than pressure field, and the particles displacementsare computed Grooming Supplies by using a rigid body motion method.

A collision strategy isalso developed to handle cases in which bodies touch.
