Artificial viscosity for particle methods (Q1085737)

The first author and \textit{R. A. Gingold}, [(*) J. Comput. Phys. 52, 374- 389 (1983; Zbl 0572.76059)] used an artificial viscosity, which was modelled on the bulk viscosity, but it had the disadvantage of being rather complicated in structure. In this paper we show that a much simpler form of the artificial viscosity leads to results which are of similar accuracy to those obtained in (*).
