unusual facts about Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics


Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics

These particles have a spatial distance (known as the "smoothing length", typically represented in equations by h ), over which their properties are "smoothed" by a kernel function.


2009 Red River flood

Following the 1997 Red River Flood, Grand Forks and East Grand Forks smoothed out some of the river curves in those cities.

ASP pistol

The ASP was a reworked Smith & Wesson Model 39 or 39-2, employing a shortened slide; a fixed bushing (in lieu of the Smith and Wesson designed collet bushing); the unique Guttersnipe sight system; clear Lexan grip-panels; a fully ramped and throated, shortened barrel; and a smoothed and radiused profile to ensure no risk of snagging on the draw.

Corner detection

This function has the appearance of a smoothed top-hat or rectangular function.

Nooitgedacht Glacial Pavements

As the Dwyka glaciers moved, grinding their way southwards, the rocks and rubble that became embedded in their belly smoothed the underlying Andesite rock pavements and scoured out scratch marks, known as striations.

SR West Country and Battle of Britain classes

The SR West Country and Battle of Britain classes, collectively known as Light Pacifics or informally as Spam Cans, are air-smoothed 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotives designed for the Southern Railway by its Chief Mechanical Engineer Oliver Bulleid.
