Adaptive smoothed particle hydrodynamics, with application to cosmology: methodology

PR Shapiro, H Martel, JV Villumsen… - … Journal Supplement v …, 1996 - adsabs.harvard.edu
The development of a new smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, called adaptive
smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ASPH), generalized for cosmology and coupled to the
particle mesh (PM) method for solving the Poisson equation, for the gasdynamical
simulation of galaxy and large-scale structure formation, will be described. The accurate
numerical simulation of the highly nonlinear phenomena of shocks and caustics which occur
generically in the process of cosmological structure formation requires enormous dynamic …
