💧 SPH (Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics)
Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is a mesh-free numerical method for simulating fluid flow by representing the fluid as a set of moving particles, each carrying mass, velocity and other properties smoothed over its neighbours via a kernel function. It is widely used for splashes, dam breaks and other free-surface fluid effects in real-time graphics.
