The meshless method of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) has made progress in the last two decades and contributions to the method appear continuously. Modern SPH schemes allow the simulation of violent free-surface flows with greater accuracy, while new physical processes can be included with relative ease accompanied by a significant reduction in computing time achieved through hardware acceleration. The development of SPH allows the simulation of different physical phenomena, including the violent hydrodynamics of coastal/shore waves impacting structures, the formation and evolution of galaxies and planets, flow in process industries characterized by multiple phases and mixing, large deformations of solids and structures, modeling of damage and failure, including crack initiation and propagation, fluid-structure interaction, and exploitation in computer graphics and computer games. The most relevant advantages over Eulerian methods are the exact conservation of mass and momentum and the meshless properties. Despite these advances, some key challenges still persist, which are encapsulated at https://www.spheric-sph.org/grand-challenges.
The “3rd Iberian Congress Advances in SPH” will bring together researchers from the academic, industrial and administrative fields to debate together and present the latest advances in SPH models.
