Undergrad Resources to learn about particles on a grid/mesh

[Cup of Joe]

TL;DR

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.

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry about resources to learn about particles on a grid/mesh. I understand your interest in learning about averaging out particle gas and organizing particles within a system or volume on a grid or mesh. Here are some suggestions for resources that may be helpful to you:

1. Online articles and tutorials: There are several online articles and tutorials available that explain the concepts of particle grids and meshes. Some of these include:
- "Introduction to Particle Grids and Meshes" by J. Biddiscombe: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/305846859_Introduction_to_Particle_Grids_and_Meshes
- "Particle Mesh Simulation Methods" by M. Deserno: https://www2.mpip-mainz.mpg.de/~deserno/teaching/md03/lec9.pdf
- "Particle Grid Mapping: Theory and Implementation" by J. Biddiscombe: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/305846859_Introduction_to_Particle_Grids_and_Meshes

2. Books: In addition to the book you have mentioned, there are several other books that cover the topic of particles on a grid/mesh. Some of these include:
- "Particle Methods for Multi-Scale and Multi-Physics" by M. Griebel, S. Knapek, and G. Zumbusch
- "Particle Methods for Fluid Dynamics" by G. Tryggvason, R. Scardovelli, and S. Zaleski
- "Particles on Surfaces: Detection, Adhesion and Removal" by H. H. Brongersma and P. G. Kik

3. Online courses: You can also consider enrolling in online courses that cover the topic of particles on a grid/mesh. Some options include:
- "Particle Methods for Fluid Flow" by EPFLx on edX: https://www.edx.org/course/particle-methods-for-fluid-flow
- "Particle-In-Cell and Particle Methods" by Coursera: https://www.coursera.org/learn/particle-in-cell-particle-methods

I hope these suggestions help you in your search for resources on particles on a grid/mesh. Best of luck in your learning journey!
