TLDR
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.

Direct numerical simulation of free-surface and interfacial flow

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the formation of droplet clouds or sprays that subsequently burn in combustion chambers, which is caused by interfacial instabilities, such as the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability.

An Introduction to the Study of Stellar Structure

W. H. Mccrea
- 01 Jul 1939 - 
TL;DR: Chandrasekhar et al. as mentioned in this paper used the internal constitution of the stars to give a classical account of his own researches and of the general state of the theory at that time.

Toward Understanding Massive Star Formation

TL;DR: In this article, a basic description of the collapse of a massive molecular core and a critical discussion of the three competing concepts of massive star formation are presented, including monolithic collapse in isolated cores, competitive accretion in a protocluster environment, stellar collisions and mergers in very dense systems.

Numerical simulation of interfacial flows by smoothed particle hydrodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, an implementation of the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method is presented to treat two-dimensional interfacial flows, that is, flow fields with different fluids separated by sharp interfaces.

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.
