    SMOOTHED PARTICLE HYDRODYNAMICS
    A Meshfree Particle Method

    by G R Liu (National University of Singapore) & M B Liu (National University of Singapore)

    Table of Contents (224k)
    Preface (357k)
    Chapter 1.1: Numerical Simulation (415k)
    Chapter 1.2: Grid-based Methods (820k)
    Chapter 1.3: Meshfree Methods (442k)
    Chapter 1.4: Meshfree Particle Methods (MPMs) (292k)
    Chapter 1.5: Solution Strategy of MPMs (396k)
    Chapter 1.6: Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) (428k)

    This is the first-ever book on smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and its variations, covering the theoretical background, numerical techniques, code implementation issues, and many novel and interesting applications.

    It contains many appealing and practical examples, including free surface flows, high explosive detonation and explosion, underwater explosion and water mitigation of explosive shocks, high velocity impact and penetration, and multiple scale simulations coupled with the molecular dynamics method. An SPH source code is provided, making this a friendly book for readers and SPH users.

     
    Contents:
    • SPH Concept and Essential Formulation
    • Constructing Smoothing Functions
    • SPH for General Dynamic Fluid Flows
    • Discontinuous SPH (DSPH)
    • SPH for Simulating Explosions
    • SPH for Underwater Explosion Shock Simulation
    • SPH for Hydrodynamics with Material Strength
    • Coupling SPH with Molecular Dynamics for Multiple Scale Simulations
    • Computer Implementation of SPH and a 3D SPH Code
     
    Readership: Researchers, practitioners, upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and academics in computational mechanics and engineering.
     
    “This is a readable book. The presentation of the book is friendly, straightforward, and application oriented … One of the unique features of the book is its emphasis on the computer implementation and coding of SPH method. Readers can easily learn from the examples illustrated in the book, write their own SPH codes, and test the validity of the numerical method. It may serve as a useful reference book in research and graduate study in computational engineering and science.”
    Computational Mechanics

     
    “Numerical simulations using the SPH method are a new area of research, and are still under development. These problems offer ample opportunities for researchers to develop more advanced methods as next generation numerical methods. The book can serve as a good start to efficiently learn, test, practise and develop such new methods.”
