DualSPHysics is a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics solver designed for modelling free-surface flow phenomena that are difficult to treat with traditional Eulerian approaches.
It’s written mainly in C++ with CUDA and OpenMP support, and is intended for real-world engineering studies such as wave interaction, dam-break impact, and offshore-structure simulations.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Uses the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method for mesh-free fluid simulation.
- Supports GPU acceleration with CUDA as well as CPU execution.
- Includes OpenMP support for parallel computation on multicore systems.
- Can be built on GNU/Linux using Makefile or CMake.
- Designed for engineering problems involving free-surface flows, waves, and impact events.
- Works with GenCase and the broader DualSPHysics toolset for preparing and processing simulation cases.
