[Paper Review] 0.333 in Tension, 0 in Compression — Where SPH Particles Start Pairing Up
·9 min read
The same SPH code holds under compression and pairs in tension. At h/dx = 1.2 the rate is 0.333; freezing the kernel on the initial lattice drives it to 0.

With γ = 7, Tait turns a 1% density error into a large pressure swing, and a pressure gradient that is not symmetrized leaks pair momentum.
