As a Lagrangian mesh-free method, the moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method can easily handle complex incompressible flow with a free surface. However, some deficiencies of the MPS method, such as inaccurate results, unphysical pressure oscillation, and particle thrust near the free surface, still need to be further resolved. Here, we propose a modified MPS method that uses the following techniques: (1) a modified MPS scheme with a split-pressure Poisson equation is proposed to reproduce hydrostatic pressure stably: (2) a new virtual particle technique is developed to ensure the symmetrical distribution of particles on the free surface: (3) a Laplacian operator that is consistent with the original gradient operator is introduced to replace the original Laplacian operator. In addition, a two-judgment technique for distinguishing free surface particles is introduced in the proposed MPS method. Four free surface flows were adopted to verify the proposed MPS method, including two hydrostatic problems, a dam-breaking problem, and a violent sloshing problem. The enhancement of accuracy and stability by these improvements was demonstrated. Moreover, the numerical results of the proposed MPS method showed good agreement with analytical solutions and experimental results.
