This code version is the basic version and incorporates the following features (remember to check Future_developments for coming improvements. Version 1.4 has the following features:

  • 2-D and 3-D versions
  • Variable timestep
  • Choice of time integration schemes: predictor-corrector, verlet, Beeman
  • Choice of Kernel functions:
    • Gaussian
    • Quadratic
    • Cubic Spline
    • Wendland Quintic
  • Choice of two types of solid boundary condition: dynamic and repulsive force
  • Periodic open boundary conditions in 3-D
  • Choice of viscosity treatments:
    • Artificial Viscosity
    • Laminar Viscosity
    • Sub-Particle Scale (SPS) Turbulence Model
  • Different Types of Moving Objects (forced motion only)
    • Moving Gate
    • Wavemaker
    • Sliding Wedge
  • Visualization routines using Matlab or ParaView
  • New Options:
    • Density Reinitialization using Shepard or Moving Least Squares (MLS)
    • RESTART option to stop and restart simulations
    • Capability for different Equations of State


From version 1.2 includes faster linked lists and core subroutines.
