SPH and its application to stellar disruption
In this thesis we study Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) which is a numerical method for simulating fluid flow used widely in astrophysics. In SPH artificial viscosity is necessary for the correct treatment of shocks, but often generates unwanted dissipation away from shocks, particularly in po...
