Abstract: Modified equations for surface tension are derived by modifying normal and curvature with corrected smoothed particle method(CSPM).It is based on smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH) method with surface tension proposed by Morris.Both Morris and our method are tested via a semicircular problem.Factors that affect accuracy are investigated including surface definition,normal and curvature calculation.Smoothed length in curvature calculation is also confirmed reasonable.Furthermore,formation of a liquid drop with initial square shape under surface tension is simulated.Compared with Morris method and grid-based volume of fluid method,it is proved that the accuracy of our method is higher and particle distribution is more homogeneous.Finally,coalescence process of two oil drops in water under surface tension is simulated.

Key words: smoothed particle hydrodynamics, surface tension method, CSPM, CSF, curvature
