Conclusions<br />

Error depends on<br />

• h (smooth<strong>in</strong>g length) – second order<br />

• Δx/h ∝ (number of neighbours) –1 – dependent on kernel smoothness<br />

<strong>SPH</strong> estimates do not necessarily converge with h<br />

Optimal number of neighbours depends on smooth<strong>in</strong>g length<br />

Non-uniform spac<strong>in</strong>g can cause divergence of standard <strong>SPH</strong> as h is<br />

reduced<br />

Consistency-corrected kernels ensure convergence<br />
