PySPH: A Python-based Framework for Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

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 formulations. These include, incompressible compressible fluid flow, elastic dynamics, rigid body shallow water equations, other problems. boundary conditions including mirror, periodic, solid wall, inlet/outlet conditions. The package written facilitate reuse reproducibility. This paper discusses the overall design demonstrates many its features. Several example results are shown demonstrate range features that provides.
