Abstract: To improve the speed and the capability of large scale simulation of SPH (Smoothed particle hydrodynamics), a parallel SPH method based on dynamic domain decomposition is developed. The decomposition of arbitrary numbers of subdomains is achieved by adopting dimension based factorable method. Rapid parallel cut plane search is achieved by adopting bisection method. The data communication between compute nodes is reduced by improving the subdomain assignment. A parallel SPH program was developed based on this method, with which the process of projectile hypervelocity impacting thin plate producing debris cloud was simulated. The result shows that: the method is suitable for the simulation of large scale shock dynamic problem, the load balance is well kept during the simulation, and the method shows a good linear acceleration feature.
