Hello everyone,
I came across SPH (Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics) simulations on the internet sometime back and was keen on performing similar simulations myself.
Being new to this field, I have no idea where to start from and how to proceed about.
I tried searching on the internet but there are hardly any sources or material available to solve my queries.
It will therefore be helpful if someone can tell me how to start with the basics and how can i perform SPH analysis.
I have my background in mechanical engineering and conversant with ANSYS
Thanks

What type of problem you want to solve with SPH? Fluid dynamics ? Astronomy? fluid-solid interaction?

Presently I am working with problems on fluid dynamics in ANSYS. I would like to extend this further on fluid-solid interactions as well. But Ansys simulations are different than those in SPH. So i was wondering if I could do an SPH analysis on the same. I tried googling it, but there was hardly any useful material. Could you help..?

I don't know how familiar are you with SPH method. and also, you didn't explain the problem you solve. but, I think a good start point is to read Monaghan's review on SPH. You'll get the main idea of SPH method, and many details involved.
