SPHERA v.9.0.0: A Computational Fluid Dynamics research code, based on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics mesh-less method

SPHERA v.9.0.0 (RSE SpA) is a FOSS CFD-SPH code, validated on floods, rapid landslides and wave motion, hydroelectric plants, fuel tanks, hydrodynamic lubrication. The presentation of the code also covers the input files, the free modeling chain, some validations and applications.

SPHERA v.9.0.0 (RSE SpA) is a FOSS CFD-SPH research code, validated in the following fields of application: flooding with transport of solid bodies and granular material; rapid landslides and wave motion; removal of sediment from bodies of water; sloshing motions in fuel tanks; hydrodynamic lubrication for energy efficiency interventions in the industrial sector. SPHERA is characterized by different numerical schemes that deal with: transport of solid bodies in fluid flows; treatment of fixed and mobile solid boundaries; dense granular flows and erosion criterion. The article presents the source and executable codes, input files and the free modeling chain of SPHERA v.9.0.0. It also illustrates some validations and reference applications. SPHERA is developed and deployed on a public digital repository on GitHub.
