====================
We present a novel hybrid Lagrangian/Eulerian method for simulating inelastic flows that generates high-quality particle distributions with adaptive volumes. At its core, our approach integrates an updated Lagrangian time discretization of continuum mechanics with the Power Particle-In-Cell geometric representation of deformable materials. As a result, we obtain material points described by optimized density kernels that precisely track the varying particle volumes both spatially and temporally. For efficient CFL-rate simulations, we also propose an implicit time integration for our system using a non-linear Gauss-Seidel solver inspired by X-PBD, viewing Eulerian nodal velocities as primal variables. We demonstrate the versatility of our method with simulations of mesoscale bubbles, sands, liquid, and foams.
