Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a quite recent computational method developed to simulate fluid flows. Differently from other mathematical models of fluid dynamics, SPH describes the mean from the lagrangian point of view. This means that the fluid is divided into a set of discrete fluid elements, like little balls. Each particle has its own properties (e.g a mass) and it moves according to the interactions with other particles. The result is an impressive collections of particles properties: position, for example.
