Kernel

The spline function used to interpolate quantities and derivatives is called a kernel in SPH. To define the kernel according to the initial particle configuration, the spacing must be set here.

Command

kernel
{
      dx          	  0.1
}

Definitions

Command Contents SI Unit Example
dx The initial particle spacing. This value is mandatory. Verify it is in agreement with the geometry input file. For example, the particles were created with the same initial spacing.
