✦ Synopsis

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics is a multidimensional Lagrangian method of numerical hydrodynamics that has been used to tackle a wide variety of problems in astrophysics. Here we develop the basic equations of the SPH scheme, and we discuss some of its numerical properties and limitations. As an illustration of typical astrophysical applications, we discuss recent calculations of stellar interactions, including collisions between main sequence stars and the coalescence of compact binaries.

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics is reformulated in terms of the convolution of the original hydrodynamics equations, and the new evolution equations for the particles are derived. The same evolution equation of motion is also derived using a new action principle. The force acting on each particle is

We have performed a series of systematic tests to evaluate quantitatively the effects of spurious transport in three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) calculations. Our tests investigate (i) particle diffusion, (ii) shock heating, (iii) numerical viscosity, and (iv) angular momentum

## Abstract This paper presents a __Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics__ (SPH) solution for the __Kelvin–Helmholtz Instability__ (KHI) problem of an incompressible two‐phase immiscible fluid in a stratified inviscid shear flow with interfacial tension. The time‐dependent evolution of the two‐fluid int
