abstract = {A three-dimensional extension of the Diffused Vortex
Hydrodynamics (DVH), called PEPC-DVH, was a recently
developed as a frontend to the open-source code PEPC, the
Pretty Efficient Parallel Coulomb solver [1]. DVH is a
vortex particle method developed in-house in a 2D framework
and widely validated [2], whereas the PEPC engine for
multi-body interaction is based on a parallel Barnes–Hut
tree code [3]. The time integration is carried out using the
Chorin decomposition: an inviscid advection is followed by a
steady diffusion. A superposition of elementary heat
equation solutions in a cubic support is performed during
the diffusion step. This redistribution avoids excessive
clustering or rarefaction of vortex particles, providing
robustness and high accuracy to the method. The new PEPC-DVH
code was used to simulate free vorticity dynamics. In
particular, the collision of two identical viscous vortex
rings, starting in a side-by-side configuration, is
investigated. The Reynolds number considered, calculated as
the ring circulation over the viscosity, spans from 577 to
1153, in agreement with the numerical simulations of Kida et
al. [4]. Differently from the literature, where a spectral
method was adopted for simulations with about 250,000 grid
points, the exploitation of vortex method abilities allow us
to follow the rings interaction at high resolution and to
preserve the whole vortex wake. A final amount of about 150
Millions of vortices was used for achieving the same final
time considered in literature. Bridging and second
reconnection are correctly captured and comparisons are
offered in terms of vorticity fields and global quantities,
like the time evolution of the circulation around the vortex
core. Heuristic convergence measurements were also
performed, by considering the conservation of prime
integrals and the energy–enstrophy balance. Finally, a new
algorithm for a multi-resolution strategy, embedded in
PEPC-DVH, is introduced. The multi-resolution is obtained by
means of a multi-layered distribution of vorticity, which
guarantees higher resolution where particles at higher
vorticity are found. Low vorticity particles are
interpolated on a sparser grid-level, maintaining the same
global circulation and ensuring compliance with Kelvin's
circulation theorem. This strategy functions similarly to an
Automatic Mesh Refinement (AMR) algorithm but eliminates the
complexity of constructing a hash table as required in that
approach.},
