TLDR
Comparisons of a semi-implicit and truly incompressible SPH (ISPH) algorithm with the classical WCSPH method are presented, showing how some of the problems encountered inWCSPH have been resolved by using ISPH to simulate incompressable flows.

Accuracy and stability in incompressible SPH (ISPH) based on the projection method and a new approach

TL;DR: A new divergence-free ISPH approach is proposed here which maintains accuracy and stability while remaining mesh free without increasing computational cost by slightly shifting particles away from streamlines, although the necessary interpolation of hydrodynamic characteristics means the formulation ceases to be strictly conservative.

Incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics for free-surface flows: A generalised diffusion-based algorithm for stability and validations for impulsive flows and propagating waves

TL;DR: The algorithm is based upon Fick's law of diffusion and shifts particles in a manner that prevents highly anisotropic distributions and the onset of numerical instability, and is validated against analytical solutions for an internal flow at higher Reynolds numbers than previously.

Enhancement of stability and accuracy of the moving particle semi-implicit method

TL;DR: It is shown that MPS-based simulations are prone to become destabilized in presence of attractive interparticle forces, similar to the so-called tensile instability in SPH method, and two new modifications are proposed to resolve this shortcoming.

A numerical approach to the testing of the fission hypothesis.

L.B. Lucy
TL;DR: A finite-size particle scheme for the numerical solution of two-and three-dimensional gas dynamical problems of astronomical interest is described and tested in this article, which is then applied to the fission problem for optically thick protostars.

Numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite-difference method for solving the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible fluid is introduced, which is equally applicable to problems in two and three space dimensions.

BI-CGSTAB: a fast and smoothly converging variant of BI-CG for the solution of nonsymmetric linear systems

TL;DR: Numerical experiments indicate that the new variant of Bi-CG, named Bi- CGSTAB, is often much more efficient than CG-S, so that in some cases rounding errors can even result in severe cancellation effects in the solution.

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, the theory and application of Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) since its inception in 1977 are discussed, focusing on the strengths and weaknesses, the analogy with particle dynamics and the numerous areas where SPH has been successfully applied.
