Welcome to the wiki of AQUAgpusph, the SPH of the researchers, by the researchers and for the researchers.
AQUAgpusph is a Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulation tool, accelerated by OpenCL and featuring a huge customizability, at a point that some other methods like Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) pipelines have been implemented.
If you are a SPH researcher and you need to deal with new formulations, AQUAgpusph is your solver! AQUAgpusph is also a nice solver if you need to deal with complex geometries on a simple way.
We respect your rights as a user and as a human being. AQUAgpusph is hereby a free software, licensed under the GPL v3 license terms.
As abovementioned, AQUAgpusph is accelerated with OpenCL. Thus it can run on multiple hardwares of different kinds, vendored by different manufacturers. More specifically, AQUAgpusph has been successfully tested on the following platforms:
- Rusticl (CPU & GPU)
- Intel One API (CPU)
- POCL (CPU)
- ROCm (AMD CPU & GPU)
- NVIDIA CUDA (NVIDIA GPU)
On POCL platforms the Assertion tools would not work though, because of an unresolved bug. Whereas GPUs can be used with the OpenCL ICDs provided by the manufacturers, it is strongly recommended to use Rusticl instead, which has demonstrated a great performance.
AQUAgpusph is meant to play with it. It is your sandbox for SPH! Along this line the pipeline can be edited without touching a single line of the core source code. Below you can find documentation about how to create your own pipelines with your own formulation.
AQUAgpusph already provides several of the most proficient SPH formulations, like
