Preliminary study on MPS method for simulation of water inflow into underground space

Abstract

Underground spaces is thought to be exposed to less seismic impact than buildings constructed on the ground. Therefore, if the disadvantages against flood can be overcome, we can utilize the underground spaces as almighty shelter. When the new application of existing underground space to emergency shelter is considered, water inflow into large scale model should be carefully evaluated. In this report, fundamental theory of MPS method with polygon boundary is reviewed. A difficulty of modeling and its easy solution is proposed with a numerical example.
