Abstract
The dynamic failure process of structures under impact and explosive loading is very common in both
military and industrial fields. However, the conventional mesh-based method has some shortcomings, such
as large mesh distortion and sliding surface treatment. Some typical phenomena are difficult to be simulated.
The smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method has natural advantages in treating large material
deformations in impact and explosion problems [1]. To make the SPH method suitable for the impact and
explosion problems, it is also improved by some treatments [2] to avoid inherent stress instability and
unphysical oscillation. However, numerical calculations for 3D engineering applications, especially by the
SPH method, are time-consuming. For this reason, we introduce MPI (Message Passing Interface) in our SPH
scheme to reduce computational time. Some optimizations are introduced to enable the large-scale
computing of the SPH method. In particular, the memory footprint is controlled. With the present MPI
massive parallelization ofthe SPH model, several validation examples are tested and analyzed. By comparing
present numerical results with the reference data, we demonstrate that the parallel SPH is effective for
modeling various impact and explosive problems. In addition, there are up to 2.04 billion particles in our
simulation. The weak and strong scaling tests are adopted to show the scalability of the program. The
maximum parallel efficiency can reach 97% on 10000 CPU cores. Furthermore, a specific example with
impact and explosion problems is well simulated in this work.
