Summary
The work, described in this paper, proposes an approach for the simulation of the
concrete flow inside forms concurrently with the temperature elevation of concrete
due to the hydration process and the heat dissipation through the material. It is based
on the moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method, a meshless Lagrangian particle
based simulation method that uses the governing equations for incompressible flows.
The Lagrangian approach of the MPS method make it suitable to simulate free surface
flows with large deformation, fragmentation and merging, and problems that involve
complex geometry, which is the case of concrete casting in forms with complex geometry
or highly reinforced pieces.
