Abstract:

An overview of the smoothed dissipative particle dynamics (SDPD) method is presented in a format that tries to quickly answer questions that often arise among users and newcomers. It is hoped that the status of SDPD is clarified as a mesoscopic particle model and its potentials and limitations are highlighted, as compared with other methods.

Key words: high-order accuracy, explicit difference scheme, equation of twodimensional parabolic type, mesoscopic particle method, smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), complex fluid, dissipative particle dynamics (DPD)
