[petsc-users] PETSc and smoothed particle hydrodynamics

[Dave May]

I've not seen anyone doing this before. For representing particle data in
parallel, petsc objects (eg vecs) are not really suitable as they don't
support dynamic resizing of the local or global size.

Most SPH calculations are explicit. If you're doing incompressible flow and
use a projection scheme which enforces the in compressibility via a
variable coefficient poisson solve, petsc would be useful for that solve.

Cheers
