N2 - In the smoothed particle dynamics (SPH) method, the characteristics of a target particle are interpolated based on the information from its neighbor particles. Consequently, a uniform initial distribution of particles significantly enhances the accuracy of SPH calculations. This aspect is particularly critical in Eulerian SPH, where particles are stationary throughout the simulation. To address this, we introduce a physics-driven complex relaxation method for multi-body systems. Through a series of two-dimensional and three-dimensional case studies, we demonstrate that this method is capable of achieving a globally uniform particle distribution, especially at the interfaces between contacting bodies, and ensuring improved zero-order consistency. Moreover, the effectiveness and reliability of the complex relaxation method in enhancing the accuracy of physical simulations are further validated.
