About SPHERIC
The SPHERIC workshop is a yearly gathering of experts in the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulation method. They exchange ideas and discuss their efforts in research and development, as well as industrial applications. It is the only international event that exclusively focuses on SPH and associated particle-based methods.
SPH has been widely adopted in various fields, including computational fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, geomechanics, manufacturing engineering, and other related disciplines. It is considered the state-of-the-art method for free-surface flows, multi-phase flows, high non-linear deformation, fracture and fragmentation, and complex physics due to its meshless and particle-based nature.
The 18th International Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Research and Engineering International Community Workshop will be organized by Dive Solutions in Berlin, Germany. On behalf of the organizing committee, we cordially invite you to SPHERIC 2024. We are looking forward to welcoming you and sharing an insightful and enjoyable event.
SPH Science Meets Industry
In this edition of the SPHERIC workshop, we’ll shed more light on industry applications of SPH, particularly in engineering fields such as industrial manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and more.
Thanks to SPHERIC’s mission to push the research and development of SPH, among others, it has become an effective computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method in simulation engineering. Dive, the host of SPHERIC 2024, is a leading commercial provider of SPH simulation software. It's customers are internationally operating manufacturing companies who utilize SPH for prediction of fluid flows in various industrial applications.
We welcome industry leaders, academic researchers and students to attend.

Keynotes Speakers
Every year we have experts educating workshop participants on relevant updates in numerical sciences. This year, we are happy to talk about the potential applications of SPH and how they overlap more and more with traditional CFD playgrounds. This will also be the topic of this years dedicated panel discussion. Moreover, we will shed light on the potentials of data analytics and machine learning in the field of CFD.
Dr. Martin Ferrand
Keynote: How to perform Finite Volumes Methods on traditional SPH playgrounds
Martin Ferrand (EDF) is deputy head of CEREA1 laboratory, joint laboratory between EDF-R&D and Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, where he teaches fluid mechanics and CFD. After his Masters of Philosophy on SPH at the University of Manchester where he won the Libersky prize in 2010, he worked on numerical treatments of open boundaries for SPH. Since 2010, he participates to the development of numerical and physical models of the open source CFD solver code_saturne. Martin managed the code_saturne development project for five years. In 2022 he obtained a PhD degree by validating prior learnings collecting SPH and arbitrarily Eulerian-Lagrangian finite volume contributions.
Felix Pause
Keynote: Current status and future trajectory of SPH in industrial engineering simulation
Felix Pause graduated from TU Berlin with a MSc in Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering. He co-founded the CAE startup Dive Solutions in 2017 and has led its Product Management since then. Under his supervision, Dive’s scientific SPH code was transformed into a commercial cloud-based product that is globally used by renowned engineering enterprises. As CPO, his responsibilities include evolving Dive’s product strategy for solver technologies, numerical methods, and cloud-platform capabilities. He also leads Dive’s customer and market research and the continuous improvement of Dive’s platform capabilities through agile software engineering methods.
Prof. Dr. Abdulla Ghani
Keynote: Physically informed machine learning using the example of reactive flows
Abdulla Ghani directs as a Junior Professor at TU Berlin the "Chair of Data Analysis and Modeling of Turbulent Flows" since April 2020. In 2012, he started his PhD thesis at Cerfacs in Toulouse on LES of combustion instabilities in aeronautical gas turbines. After completion in 2015, he worked as a postdoc at IMF Toulouse and at TU Munich. His research combines high-fidelity numerical simulations combined with reduced-order and data-driven models. Beside scientific collaborations with industry, his research is funded by an ERC Starting Grant.
