This 2-day course is intended for professionals and graduate
students in areas of engineering fluid mechanics including
coastal and shallow water hydrodynamics, ballistics, nuclear
flows, marine, structures, fluid/structure interaction,
sloshing , flooding, debris, slurry and other flows such as
injection moulding. SPH is a meshless computational method
for potentially highly violent fluid flows where there is
very large deformation with arbitrarily complex moving
boundaries. Manchester has been researching SPH for many
years and is one of the few locations in the world with
expertise in both compressible and incompressible methods
with acceleration on novel computer hardware.

Guest lecturers on the course will include world experts
from Ecole Centrale de Lyon (ECL) in France and Electricité
de France (EDF) presenting the state-of-the-art application
of SPH to hydraulic machines along with turbulence and
industrial flow cases.

Topics include: The course will consist of an introduction
to SPH with a special emphasis on presenting the basic and
fundamental concepts of the technique, then moving onto some
of the latest state-of-the-art developments:

- Basic theoretical concepts,
- The latest innovations
- Applications to cases in industry, and
- Visualization techniques
