The invention provides a semi-analytical MPM-DEM
coupling numerical
simulation method for interaction of
debris flow and a structure, and relates to the field of
geotechnical engineering disaster
simulation. Taking the fine-grain
slurry as a continuous medium, and discretizing by adopting MPM; meanwhile, spherical particles and clustered particles serve as
solid phases, and DEM modeling is adopted; structures and boundaries are embedded into the computational domain in the form of rigid walls. Through grid-particle
information exchange and two-way transmission of particle-grid
coupling force, synchronous solution of fluid-
solid multiphase
coupling is realized. The fluid-
solid contact force adopts a semi-analysis mode; the DEM particles and the DEM particle-wall contact are accurately calculated on the basis of a
Hertz-Mindlin model, and the DEM particle-wall contact is accurately calculated on the basis of a
Hertz-Mindlin model. According to the method, collaborative collision, blockage and
impact mechanisms of block stones and floating woods in
debris flow are truly represented, and the three-dimensional large-scale situation of million-level fluid
mass points and million-level particles is simulated. The
simulation result can output key indexes such as the
stress time history, the
impact peak value and the blockage rate of the structure, and a reliable numerical basis is provided for
debris flow protection.
