About Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH)
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a computational method used for simulating fluid flows. Unlike grid-based methods, SPH uses a set of particles to represent a fluid, where each particle carries properties such as mass, velocity, and pressure.
Key Features of SPH:
- Lagrangian method: Follows the motion of particles, making it ideal for free surface flows and large deformations.
- Adaptive resolution: Naturally adapts to regions of varying density, providing higher resolution where needed.
- Versatility: Can handle complex geometries and multiphase flows with relative ease.
- Conservation: Inherently conserves mass and can be formulated to conserve energy and momentum.
In this simulation, you can observe how SPH particles interact to create realistic fluid behavior. Experiment with different parameters to see how they affect the flow dynamics!
