On the use of SPH method for industrial applications

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a relativelynew meshless numerical approach which has attractedsignificant attention in the last two decades. Comparedwith the conventional mesh-dependent computationalfluid dynamics (CFD) methods, the SPH approachexhibits unique advantages in modeling multiphysicsfluid flows and associated transport phenomena due toits capabilities of handling complex material surfacebehavior as well as modeling complicated physics in arelatively simple manner. On the other hand, as SPH isstill a developing CFD tool, it is vital to investigate itsattributes, namely, advantages or potential limitations inmodeling different multiphysics flow problems tofurther understand and then improve this technique forreal life phenomena and industrial applications. Towardthis end, this work aims to explain the motivationsbehind utilizing SPH method, recent industrialapplications of this technique, as well as challenges inorder to make it as an hand-on computational tool.
