This combination incorporates FSDE into the optimization process of GSA with an attempt to avoid the premature convergence in GSA. This strategy makes full use of the exploration ability of GSA and the exploitation ability of FSDE. IGSA is tested on a suite of benchmark functions. The experimental results demonstrate the good performance of IGSA.展开更多

The computational domain is discretized by Finite Volume Method (FVM). The Volume of Fluid (VOF) technique is used to track the free surface and the PiecewiseLinear Interface Construction (PLIC) is used for reconstruction. The Continuum Surface Force (CSF) model is used to account for the surface tension. The convective term and the diffusive term are upwind and centrally differenced respectively. The Inner Doubly Iterative Efficient Algorithm for Linked Equations (IDEAL) is used to decouple the pressure and velocity. Based on the proposed techniques, collapse of water column is simulated and convergence study is performed for the validation of the numerical solver. Then the impact of a free falling liquid body is simulated, and the effect of volume and initial height of the liquid body is analyzed. In addition, the impact on a plate with a liquid layer is also simulated to study the effect of falling height on a liquid floor.展开更多
