Numerical Simulations of Regolith Sampling Processes
Christoph M. Schäfer, Samuel Scherrer, Robert Buchwald +3
We present recent improvements in the simulation of regolith sampling processes in microgravity using the numerical particle method smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH). We use an e…

A smooth particle hydrodynamics code to model collisions between solid, self-gravitating objects
Christoph M. Schäfer, Sven Riecker, Thomas I. Maindl +3
Modern graphics processing units (GPUs) lead to a major increase in the performance of the computation of astrophysical simulations. Owing to the different nature of GPU architectu…
