The SPHYSICS Code

SPHYSICS is a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) code inspired by the formulation of Monaghan (1992) developed jointly by researchers at the Johns Hopkins University, the University of Vigo, the University of Manchester and the University of Rome La Sapienza.

of was developed to study non-axisymmetric phenomena in astrophysics. Yet, a number of developments based on this approach have been launched by various research teams in association with industry. Fields like free-surface flows, where Eulerian methods can be difficult to apply, represent a very high potential of applications (waves, impact on dams, off-shore...) as the meshfree technique facilitates the simulation of highly distorted fluids/bodies. Furthermore, with the ever increasing size and cost reduction of computer clusters, parallel simulations allow large-scale simulations that were previously limited to mainframes.
