Numerical Particle Methods Group

The workgroup on numerical particle methods is part of Prof. Kley's department of Computational Physics. Our research is focused on meshfree particle methods such as Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics, Molecular Dynamics and Tree algorithms and their application on astrophysical processes.
