Abstract

In this article, a smoothed particle hydrodynamics method is developed to simulate the dynamic process of the impact of two viscoelastic droplets onto a rigid plate. The Oldroyd-B fluid is considered as the rheological model to describe the viscoelastic characteristics. An artificial stress is added into the momentum equation to remove the tensile instability. The solution of the problem of two successive impacts of droplets are demonstrated to be in good agreement with the literature data. The problem of two droplets impacting simultaneously onto a rigid plate is investigated.
