Why SPHinXsys?

SPHinXsys offers a new frontier in simulation technology with the cutting-edge unified multi-physics simulation and optimization library. Harnessing the power of particle-based modeling, the platform addresses the complexities of fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, fluid-structure interactions, thermal analysis, chemical reactions and AI-aware optimizations.
SPHinXsys is characterized with its monolithic strong coupling based on smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). It ensures seamless, temporal and spatial local coupling with the guarantee of mass, momentum and energy conservation within each individual subsystem and the global system at the same time. It empowers your engineering endeavors with a versatile and intuitive solution across a spectrum of industries.

Multi-scale material models

Extensive material models have been implemented in SPHinXsys. A special feature is that independent material properties can be detailed to individual particle level.

  • Fluids, including weakly compressible (Newtonian and Oldroy-B) and fully compressible fluids
  • Solids, including Linear elastic solid, non-linear elastic solid with Neo-Hookean model and anisotropic muscle model
  • Reactions, including generalized diffusion-reaction model, which is able handle arbitrary number of diffusive or reactive species.

Structure-of-array (SoA)

SPHinXsys uses structure-of-array (SoA), and introduces particle-sorting. Such techniques lead to dramatic increase of computational efficiency due to the cache-friendly design.

  • A new generalized particle data class by which one can easily add any method-based variables without modify particle class to increase data reuse and efficiency.
  • Our recent numerical simulation of wave interaction with an oscillating wave surge converter (OWSC) involving complex FSI and multi-body dynamics \cite{zhang2020efficient}, demonstrate that, with the new data structure, SPHinXsys is able to not only accurately predict the complex dynamics, but also show optimized computational performance through CPU cost analysis and comparison with commercial software package and other SPH-based solvers in literature.
