💦 Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics - A Guided Journey into the Basics of the SPH Method

This article will give you a general understanding of the basic concepts of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method. We will touch on the fundamental aspects of its formulation, explaining how fluid motion can be simulated by using particles and what the advantages and disadvantages of this approach are compared with traditional CFD methods. Instead of using formulas, we will provide concrete visual examples so that you can understand the most important ideas behind the SPH formulation even if you are unfamiliar with complex mathematical tools.
