The meshless method smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) has made progress over the past two decades with contributions to the method continually appearing. Modern SPH schemes enable the simulation of violent free-surface flows with improved accuracy, while new physical processes can be included with relative ease accompanied by a significant reduction of the computational time achieved through hardware acceleration.
The development of SPH enables the simulation of different physical phenomena, including violent hydrodynamics of coastal/offshore waves impacting structures, galaxy and planetary formation and evolution, flow in process industries characterised by multiple phases and mixing, large deformations of solids and structures, modelling damage and failure, including opening and propagation of cracks, 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 remain, and are encapsulated in the https://www.spheric-sph.org/grand-challenges.
"3rd Iberian Congress Advances on SPH" will bring together researchers from the academia, industry and administration to discuss together and expose the latest advances in SPH models.
The congress is linked to previous events organised in Ourense by the EPhysLab research group, such as:
The conference will be hosted in the Room “Salón de Grados” at the Polytechnic Building in the Science Faculty, Campus As Lagoas s/n, Ourense, Spain.
