Particle Methods

Particle Methods is a computational framework in numerical analysis that discretizes the governing equations of continuum mechanics using a set of discrete material points or particles without a fixed mesh topology, distinguishing it from traditional grid-based methods by enabling Lagrangian descriptions of large deformations and material fragmentation.
