Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Simulation & Visualization

Four GPU SPH examples show how particle output becomes readable scientific media, from surface reconstruction and scalar fields to a geometry-metrics handoff for reduced-model analysis.

Analysis bridge

The rectangular case is also the bridge into analysis workflows: solver-derived geometry proxies become reusable metrics for the existing model-analysis tools while their single-phase meaning stays explicit.

Geometry proxy

Rectangular jet geometry proxy

A single-phase rectangular-inlet proxy adds surface reconstruction, velocity and pressure views, true cross-section cuts, and a SprayGeo / Ideal Momentum Jet Explorer metrics handoff.

The rectangular sequence is a single-phase geometry proxy used for visualization and geometry-metric extraction.

Workflow

The case study connects numerical output, visualization choices, and communication needs through a reproducible media pipeline.

  • DualSPHysics GPU SPH simulation outputs
  • VTK and IsoSurface post-processing
  • Headless Blender rendering
  • ffmpeg video assembly
  • Solver metrics handoff into SprayGeo and Ideal Momentum Jet Explorer
  • Visual consistency checks and scientific-context communication

Demonstrated outputs

The four examples connect particle outputs to reconstructed surfaces, scalar views, finished media, and reusable geometry metrics through a documented post-processing workflow.
