Anyone know of any open source libraries for particle based large scale smooth particle hydrodynamics. I am looking for a easier way of simulating large scale planetary body impacts with rotation.
I was also wondering if you had any ideas on how to visualize the output from said simulation. I have tried using IBM graphviz, but it is very difficult to work with. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks!
How large are we talking here?
If you want fast and it is small enough to fit in a few GB, and you have a CUDA GPU, then I would recommend Hoomd-Blue, http://codeblue.umich.edu/hoomd-blue/ . All you need to do is roll your own pairwise potential function. I would modify something simple like the LJ potential.
Although the wiki article has pointers to a few packages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothed-particle_hydrodynamics#Software
