Abstract
A review of the Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method is presented. Emphasis is given to the derivation of the SPH equations from the hydrodynamical conservation equations. This not only shows that SPH is actually solving the hydrodynamical equations but also allows for consistent treatment of boundary terms. Recent suggestions by various authors concerning radiation transport, artificial viscosity, etc. are briefly presented and discussed. Improvements in existing codes, like the possibility of a variable smoothing length, are also discussed.
