When this post https://mastodon.social/@coreyspowell/113807316007617909 by @coreyspowell popped up in my feed just now my first thought was: «wait, I'm pretty sure I saw something similar at a recent #SPHERIC conference» so of course I checked the linked paper (<https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-024-01612-0.epdf?sharing_token=9Q4L9YJs0dXIOXIb7dJ9F9RgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0NvCuY-CCmAUDS-e_nTUnvNU1gexpN1yz5LgFWb6OYeZtFJos0bQQeDtkY5TswjWh9TsZvZ6a44fcxf1Kw-c1KkueYZqv6G1Lx7wrnS7EBY4v1kIZ-srQuT1Md7nJKtojM%3D>) and lo and behold, they do use #SPH #SmoothedParticleHydrodynamics
However, I had a feeling it wasn't exactly the same, and by digging deeper in my memory, I realized that indeed what I had seen wasn't (a preview of) this work, but a #SPHERIC2019 contribution about simulating impacts on planetary giants with #SWIFT (a well-known SPH code for #astrophysics, the field SPH was originally designed for, available from <https://www.swiftsim.com>) with Uranus as a test case. You can read the full article here:

and see a high-resolution animation of the Uranus impact, as well as other simulations, at https://icc.dur.ac.uk/giant_impacts/ -
#SPHERIC2025 will be in #Barcelona
https://spheric2025.upc.edu/It will be the first #SPHERIC #conference to break from the "classic" SPHERIC International Workshop format that was also employed for the SPHERIC 2022 I organized in Catania, and closer to other more traditional conferences (hence also the change in name, to SPHERIC World Conference).
