Abstract:

Smooth Particle Applied Mechanics provides a novel method for solving the basic equations of continuum mechanics. The method is simple to implement, very stable, and applicable to a variety of far-from-equilibrium situations. It provides an interesting bridge between atomistic and continuum simulations. Here we describe our general explorations of the method, emphasizing recent results for the Rayleigh-Benard problem, a heat conducting flow driven by a convective instability
