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!
 
The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...
Let there be a person in a not yet optimally designed sled at h meters in height. Let this sled free fall but user can steer by tilting their body weight in the sled or by optimal sled shape design point it in some horizontal direction where it is wanted to go - in any horizontal direction but once picked fixed. How to calculate horizontal distance d achievable as function of height h. Thus what is f(h) = d. Put another way, imagine a helicopter rises to a height h, but then shuts off all...
Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
