I Resources to learn about particles on a grid/mesh

AI Thread Summary
To learn about averaging particle gases and organizing particles on a grid or mesh, several modern resources are available. Recommended online articles include "Introduction to Particle Grids and Meshes" by J. Biddiscombe and "Particle Mesh Simulation Methods" by M. Deserno. Additionally, books such as "Particle Methods for Multi-Scale and Multi-Physics" and "Particle Methods for Fluid Dynamics" provide in-depth coverage of the topic. Online courses like "Particle Methods for Fluid Flow" on edX and "Particle-In-Cell and Particle Methods" on Coursera are also valuable for structured learning. These resources should aid in understanding particle organization within a system.

TL;DR Summary
Looking to learn about particles on a grid and their properties and calculation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_mesh. But I cannot find many resources online.
Hello.

I am looking to learn about averaging out a particle gas or any other type of organization of particles within a system or volume that can be approximated onto a grid or mesh where the particles are at a constant distance from each other: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_mesh.

I am not sure where to find this kind of material as I have looked for a few days now. The closest I have found are these:
- FPGA-Accelerated Particle-Grid Mapping: https://www.bu.edu/caadlab/FCCM16b.pdf
- Some book from 1988: Computer Simulation Using Particles | R W Hockney, J W Eastwood | Tayl but I would like something much more modern than this

Any recommendations or helpful tips would be appreciated! Thanks.

I hope these suggestions help you in your search for resources on particles on a grid/mesh. Best of luck in your learning journey!
 
Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario
This has been discussed many times on PF, and will likely come up again, so the video might come handy.
