PySPH is an open-source, Python-based, framework for particle methods in general and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) particular. allows a user to define complete SPH simulation using pure Python. High-performance code generated from this high-level Python executed on either multiple cores, or GPUs, seamlessly. It also supports distributed execution MPI. wide variety of schemes formulation...

The hydrodynamics of collisions and mergers of main-sequence stars is discussed in the light of recent 3-D calculations using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. Theoretical models for the formation of blue stragglers are reviewed in the context of recent comparisons between the observed properties of blue stragglers in dense globular clusters and the predictions of those models.

Abstract Since its inception, the full Lagrangian meshless smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) has experienced a tremendous enhancement in methodology and impacted range of multi-physics applications science engineering. This review presents concise survey on latest developments achievements SPH method, including: (1) Brief theory fundamental with kernel corrections, (2) The Riemann-based met...
