Since Lucy and Gingold & Monaghan invented smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), it has been used to study a variety of astrophysical problems. A broad discussion of the method can be found in a review by Monaghan. However, the most serious disadvantage of SPH remains to be overcome: it cannot handle strong shocks accurately. Especially in three dimensional calculation, particles often penetrate each other, and there are typically large post-shock oscillations.
