Minisymposium 'MS 13: Mechanics of Soft Materials and Structures' at EMI 2015 at Stanford University
Dear Colleagues,
we would like to draw your attention to the minisymposium entitled 'MS 13: Mechanics of Soft Materials and Structures', which we are organizing as part of the EMI 2015 Conference (Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference) to be held in Stanford, United States, June 16-19 2015.
initial particle distribution in SPH
I wonder how important the initial set up for a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics simulation is. Is the initial particle distribution somehow significant for the final result? How to control particle density and distribution along problem domain? What are the important factors inherent to the initial set up? Having control over the initial set up is going against the philosophy of this method?
