SUMMARY:

In the face of the growing need in engineering to solve problems with increasing scale and accuracy, there arises a need for the study of new numerical tools. With the advent of computing, new methods have been applied to solve a variety of problems. Through the use of computers, simulations have become increasingly effective, serving as tools for the analysis of fluid dynamics. In this context, simulations of different phenomena and the analysis of their results contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms involved in the formation and development of various types of phenomena. This work aims to apply the Material Point Method (MPM) in the numerical simulation of fluids. Typically, for fluid simulation, specific chambers are used to capture the experiment in slow motion, sensors are used to measure impact, height, and other physical parameters. Many of these experiments also require a specialized team. For the application of MPM in fluid simulations, several experiments were chosen to validate the methods used, namely: pressure at the bottom of a pool, Dam-Break, and Dam-Break with a flexible gate. The simulations are performed using the proprietary simulator of the LCCV (Laborat´orio de Computa¸c˜ao Cient´ıfica e Visualiza¸c˜ao), located at UFAL.
