Abstract: Algorithms for initializing particle distribution in SPH simulations are important for improving simulation accuracy. However, no such algorithms exist for boundary integral SPH models, which can model complex geometries without requiring layers of virtual particles. This study introduces the Boundary Integral based Particle Initialization (BIPI) algorithm. It employs a particle packing algorithm meticulously designed to redistribute particles to fit the geometry boundary. The BIPI algorithm directly utilizes the geometry's boundary information using the SPH boundary integral formulation. Special consideration is given to particles adjacent to the boundary to prevent artificial volume compression. The BIPI algorithm can hence generate a particle distribution with reduced concentration gradients for domains with complex geometrical shapes. Finally, several examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, including the application of the BIPI algorithm in flow problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
