Online-simulation of fluidic processes in early design of plant development using SPH

An increasing number of products put focus on the development process. As the early design phase is oftentimes defining for the overall costs, this phase is particularly important. An approach is the use of digital models and simulations. However, due to the high modelling effort in the early design phase and time-consuming simulation runs, the applicability of this approach remains limited. Thus, we describe a method for an online-simulation method, which is capable of both simulating fluids in real-time and enabling instantaneous adaption of the underlying simulation model. This is achieved by the use of Lagrangian simulation methods, efficient exploitation of GPU's potential and a modular simulation model.
