Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics in cosmology: a comparative study of implementations
Abstract
We analyse the performance of 12 different implementations of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) using seven tests designed to isolate key hydrodynamic elements of cosmological simulations which are known to cause the SPH algorithm problems. In order, we consider a shock tube, spherical adiabatic collapse, cooling flow model, drag, a cosmological simulation, rotating cloud‐collapse and angular momentum transport. In the implementations …
