Description: PySPH: a Python-based SPH framework
        ------------------------------------

        **PySPH has moved here:** https://github.com/pypr/pysph
        
        PySPH is an open source framework for Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics
        (SPH) simulations. It is implemented in
        `Python <http://www.python.org>`_ and the performance critical parts
        are implemented in `Cython <http://www.cython.org>`_ and PyOpenCL_.
        
        PySPH allows users to write their high-level code in pure Python. This Python
        code is automatically converted to high-performance Cython or OpenCL which is
        compiled and executed. PySPH can also be configured to work seamlessly with
        OpenMP, OpenCL, and MPI.
        
        The latest documentation for PySPH is available at
        `pysph.readthedocs.org <http://pysph.readthedocs.org>`_.

        Features
        --------
        
        - Flexibility to define arbitrary SPH equations operating on particles
          in pure Python.
        - Define your own multi-step integrators in pure Python.
        - High-performance: our performance is comparable to hand-written
          solvers implemented in FORTRAN.
        - Seamless multi-core support with OpenMP.
        - Seamless GPU support with PyOpenCL_.
        - Seamless parallel support using

        SPH formulations
        -----------------
        
        PySPH ships with a variety of standard SPH formulations along with
        basic examples.  Some of the formulations available are:
        
        -  `Weakly Compressible SPH
           (WCSPH) <http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00221686.2010.9641250>`_
           for free-surface flows (Gesteira et al. 2010, Journal of Hydraulic
           Research, 48, pp. 6--27)
        -  `Transport Velocity
           Formulation <http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jcp.2013.01.043>`_ for
           incompressilbe fluids (Adami et al. 2013, JCP, 241, pp. 292--307)
        -  `SPH for elastic
           dynamics <http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0045-7825(01)00254-7>`_ (Gray
           et al. 2001, CMAME, Vol. 190, pp 6641--6662)
        -  `Compressible SPH <http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jcp.2013.08.060>`_
           (Puri et al. 2014, JCP, Vol. 256, pp 308--333)
        
        Installation
        -------------
        
        Up-to-date details on how to install PySPH on Linux/OS X and Windows are
        available from
        `here <http://pysph.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html>`_.
        
        If you wish to see a working build/test script please see our `shippable.yml
        <https://github.com/pypr/pysph/blob/master/shippable.yml>`_. For
        Windows platforms see the `appveyor.yml
        <https://github.com/pypr/pysph/blob/master/appveyor.yml>`_.
        
        Running the examples
        --------------------
        
        You can verify the installation by exploring some examples. A fairly
        quick running example (taking about 20 seconds) would be the
        following::
        
            $ pysph run elliptical_drop
        
        This requires that Mayavi be installed. The saved output data can be
        viewed by running::
        
            $ pysph view elliptical_drop_output/
        
        A more interesting example would be a 2D dam-break example (this takes about 30
        minutes in total to run)::
        
            $ pysph run dam_break_2d
        
        The solution can be viewed live by running (on another shell)::
        
            $ pysph view
        
        The generated output can also be viewed and the newly generated output files
        can be refreshed on the viewer UI.
        
        A 3D version of the dam-break problem is also available, and may be run
        as::
        
            $ pysph run dam_break_3d
        
        This runs the 3D dam-break problem which is also a SPHERIC benchmark
        `Test 2 <https://wiki.manchester.ac.uk/spheric/index.php/Test2>`_
        
        .. figure:: https://github.com/pypr/pysph/raw/master/docs/Images/db3d.png
           :width: 550px
           :alt: Three-dimensional dam-break example
        
        PySPH is more than a tool for wave-body interactions:::
        
            $ pysph run cavity
        
        This runs the driven cavity problem using the transport velocity formulation of
        Adami et al. The output directory ``cavity_output`` will also contain
        streamlines and other post-processed results after the simulation completes.
        For example the streamlines look like the following image:
        
        .. figure:: https://github.com/pypr/pysph/raw/master/docs/Images/ldc-streamlines.png
           :width: 550px
           :alt: Lid-driven-cavity example
        
        If you want to use PySPH for elastic dynamics, you can try some of the
        examples from the ``pysph.examples.solid_mech`` package::
        
            $ pysph run solid_mech.rings
        
        Which runs the problem of the collision of two elastic rings:
        
        .. figure:: https://github.com/pypr/pysph/raw/master/docs/Images/rings-collision.png
           :width: 550px
           :alt: Collision of two steel rings
        
        The auto-generated code for the example resides in the directory
        ``~/.pysph/source``. A note of caution however, it's not for the faint
        hearted.
        
        There are many more examples, they can be listed by simply running::
        
            $ pysph run
