.. 'Hopkins'-SPH Josh Borrow 5th April 2018 Pressure-Entropy SPH ==================== .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :hidden: :caption: Contents: A Pressure-Entropy SPH scheme is available in SWIFT, inspired by Hopkins 2013. This includes a fixed Monaghan AV scheme and a Balsara switch. .. code-block:: bash ./configure --with-hydro="pressure-entropy" The parameters available for this scheme, and their defaults, are: .. code-block:: yaml SPH: viscosity_alpha: 0.8 # Fixed value for the alpha viscosity Pressure-Energy SPH =================== Pressure-energy SPH is now implemented in SWIFT, and like the pressure-entropy scheme it includes a Monaghan AV scheme and a Balsara switch. .. code-block:: bash ./configure --with-hydro="pressure-energy" The parameters available for this scheme, and their defaults, are: .. code-block:: yaml SPH: viscosity_alpha: 0.8 # Fixed value for the alpha viscosity There is a variant of this implementation that includes a Morris & Monaghan (1997) variable artificial viscosity that aims to reduce disappation away from strong shocks. This implementation also includes a Balsara switch. To use this scheme, you should use: .. code-block:: bash ./configure --with-hydro="pressure-energy-monaghan" The parameters available for this scheme, and their defaults, are: .. code-block:: yaml SPH: viscosity_alpha: 0.8 # Initial value for the alpha viscosity viscosity_length: 0.25 # Viscosity decay length (in terms of sound-crossing time) # These are enforced each time-step viscosity_alpha_max: 2.0 # Maximal allowed value for the viscosity alpha viscosity_alpha_min: 0.1 # Minimal allowed value for the viscosity alpha There is also a compile-time parameter, ``viscosity_beta`` that we set to 3.0. During feedback events, the viscosity is set to the compile-time ``hydro_props_default_viscosity_alpha_feedback_reset = 2.0``. These can be changed in ``src/hydro/AnarchyPU/hydro_parameters.h``.
