Abstract
Modeling inviscid compressible flows with shocks and vortex dominated dynamics remains challenging for particle grid methods due to moving discontinuities, cell crossing noise, and quadrature degradation under strong deformation. Building on a FLIP/APIC framework with vorticity aware tensor artificial viscosity, we identify a long time RTI failure mode: particle depletion at spike heads degrades quadrature and particle grid coupling, producing nonphysical, void-like dents. Standard mitigations (CPDI lite and subcell-jittered seeding) reduce but do not eliminate this artifact. We therefore add two sampling-aware controls: (i) conservative split resampling that replenishes depleted cells while exactly conserving mass, momentum, and internal energy; and (ii) a soft-switch that attenuates only the APIC affine term when local support is insufficient. Tests on the Sod shock tube and single/multi mode RTI show that the method removes spike head voids in long-time RTI while preserving vortex roll up, and matches reference Euler growth metrics
