Truncation error estimates of approximate operators in a generalized particle method

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: To facilitate the numerical analysis of particle methods, we derive truncation error estimates for the approximate operators in a generalized particle method. Here, a generalized particle method is defined as a meshfree numerical method that typically includes other conventional particle methods, such as smoothed particle hydrodynamics or moving particle semi-implicit methods. A new regularity of discrete parameters is proposed via two new indicators based on the Voronoi decomposition of the domain along with two hypotheses of reference weight functions. Then, truncation error estimates are derived for an interpolant, approximate gradient operator, and approximate Laplace operator in the generalized particle method. The convergence rates for these estimates are determined based on the frequency with which they appear in the regularity and hypotheses. Finally, the estimates are computed numerically and the results are shown to be in good agreement with the theoretical results.
