SMOOTHED PARTICLE HYDRODYNAMICS (SPH) (100% original)

The foundation of SPH is interpolation theory. The conservation laws of continuum fluid dynamics, in the form of partial differential equations, are trans-formed into their particle forms by integral equations through the use of an interpolation function usually known as kernel. Computationally, information is known only at discrete points, so that the integrals are evaluated as sums over neighboring points.This PhD is focusing on a code version of SPH called SPHysics. The report describes the development of the method and its application to water waves. SPHysics is developed jointly by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Univer-sity (U.S.), the University of Vigo (Spain), the University of Manchester (U.K.)and the University of Rome La Sapienza (Italy). Furthermore, it is an open code, so other researchers can contribute to the SPHysics project, by sending improvements.
