The Analysis of Particle Flow using the Parallelised Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Method

In smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), an adaptive and meshfree particle method, the particle positions and velocities related to particle interactions must be updated at each time step. Thus, parallel computing is necessary to improve the numerical efficiency for the problems involving large computational domains. For the parallelization of the SPH method, the simulation domain is decomposed into subdomains with a group of particles using the new proposed parallel method. In this case, the boundary conditions are composed of the interface particles instead of the ghost zone at the other side of the subdomain. Then, the performance of the parallel computing is evaluated with the simulation of a fluid flow.
