Readership: Researchers, practitioners, upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and academics in computational mechanics andengineering.

�This is a readable book. The presentation of the book is friendly, straightforward, and application oriented � One of the unique features of the book is its emphasis on the computer implementation and coding of SPH method. Readers can easily learn from the examples illustrated in the book, write their own SPH codes, and test the validity of the numerical method. It may serve as a useful reference book in research and graduate study in computational engineering and science.�

Computational Mechanics

�Numerical simulations using the SPH method are a new area of research, and are still under development. These problems offer ample opportunities for researchers to develop more advanced methods as next generation numerical methods. The book can serve as a good start to efficiently learn, test, practise and develop such new methods.
