SYMPLER: SYMbolic ParticLE simulatoR with grid-computing interface

Nauticle: a general-purpose particle-based simulation tool

“…As it has been partially referred in [32] and [33], particle methods can be interpreted as collections of mathematical expressions describing particle interactions that actually govern the evolution of all particles included in a simulation. Throughout this section, the fundamentals of the general mathematical formulation compatible with Nauticle is introduced.…”

“…In contrast with SYMPLER [32] and Aboria [33], due to the hardcoded particle interaction laws of the SFL-tree in Figure 1, the desired numerical model can be constructed significantly more intuitively, while maintaining sufficient flexibility (for details, see the examples in Section 5).…”

“…Similarly to the concepts of FEniCS and deal.II, the same approach has been started to evolve in the field of particle-based computations during the past few years. The first steps in creating such open-source computational environments made by D. Kauzlarich et al with the code SYMPLER [32] and most recently by M. Robinson and M. Bruna with Aboria [33]. Both tools aim generality; SYMPLER can be operated through XML-formatted configuration files, while Aboria is a modern lightweight (header only) library relying on the standard C++ features.…”
