Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH)
Description
This SIG brings together researchers from across the UK that use or are interested in applying meshless methods to their fluid dynamics (or related) problems, with a particular emphasis on smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). Domains covered by this SIG are varied, ranging from all aspects of engineering through to astrophysics.

Future SIG Events
There are two upcoming SIG events to be held in 2019:
- SPH & Industry hosted by Brunel University at the Brunel Innovation Centre, Great Abington, Cambridge. This will be on the 10th of July 2019.
- SPH: Greatest Hits (so far) hosted by Durham University's Department of Physics. This will be between the 28th and 29th of November 2019.
SIG Event History
SIG Meeting 3: The Centre for Modelling and Simulation, Hosted by The University of Bristol - 18th December 2018
This meeting saw potential industrial use cases presented to the members of the SPH SIG and also provided a platform for those using SPH for Astrophysics and Computer Graphics applications. Download a full report of the meeting here.
SIG Meeting 2: Hosted by The University of Manchester - 12th April 2018
The second SPH SIG meeting saw SPH presented in terms of practical application areas, with SIG members talking about their individual uses of the SPH method, showing the variety of problems it can be applied to. A full report can be downloaded here.
SIG Meeting 1: Daresbury Laboratory, Hosted by The Science and Technology Facilities Council - 12th July 2017
The first SPH SIG meeting took place at UKRI-STFC's Daresbury Laboratory in Warrington. This was the SIGs klick-off meeting and provided a platform for people to talk about their current research as well as a lively debate on how SIG meetings should be themed going forwards and how the SIG membership can be grown. A full report can be downloaded here.
