Smoothed dissipative particle dynamics

Abstract

We present a fluid particle model that is both a thermodynamically consistent version of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and a version of dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), capturing the best of both methods. The model is a discrete version of Navier-Stokes equations, like SPH, and includes thermal fluctuations, like DPD. This model solves some problems with the physical interpretation of the original DPD model.
