We present a novel and fast application to generate glass-like initial conditions for Lagrangian hydrodynamic schemes (e.g. Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH)) following arbitrary density models based on weighted Voronoi tessellations and combine it with improved initial configurations and an additional particle reshuffling scheme. We show our application's ability to sample different kinds of density features and to converge properly towards the given model density as well as a glass-like particle configuration. We analyse convergence with iterations as well as with varying particle number. Additionally, we demonstrate the versatility of the implemented algorithms by providing an extensive test suite for standard (magneto-) hydrodynamic test cases as well as a few common astrophysical applications. We indicate the potential to bridge further between observational astronomy and simulations as well as applicability to other fields of science by advanced features such as describing a density model using gridded data for exampling from an image file instead of an analytic model.

Tidal disruption events with SPH-EXA: resolving the return of the stream
High-resolution SPH simulations show that significant in-plane spreading and dissipation of returning tidal debris at pericenter is a low-resolution numerical artifact, supporting circularization via later stream-stre...
