Abstract
In particle methods, uniform grid is often used to search neighboring particles. However, this technique has a crucial problem that computer memory usage becomes very high, as simulation system size is larger. We propose the method of uniform grid with linear list, which can effectively decrease memory usage. We demonstrated that the memory usage was decreased about 90% for dam break simulation with linear list. Hence this method can be useful for the particle methods.
