Particles for fluids: SPH versus vortex methods

Andrea Colagrossi, Giorgio Graziani and Mario Pulvirenti

Vol. 2 (2014), No. 1, 45–70
Abstract

We review the basic ideas underlying two popular particle methods for fluids: smoothed-particle hydrodynamics and the vortex method. We discuss convergence problems, numerical schemes, and examples of practical simulations.

Keywords
particle methods, smoothed-particle hydrodynamics, vortex method, convergence, viscous flows
