Hybrid Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics/Finite Element Method Simulation of Water Droplet Erosion on Ductile Metallic Targets

Erosion of metallic surfaces due to the permanent impact of high-speed water droplets is a significant concern in diverse industrial applications like turbine blades, among others. In the initial stage of water droplet erosion, there is an incubation regime with negligible mass loss whose duration i...
