A recent case study involving the landing of Orion Spacecraft in water described the necessity of a simulation to help develop injury criteria recommendations. A simulation like this would greatly benefit NASA and other space-related companies because they wouldn't have to expend any actual resources when conducting tests.

In this project we will be simulating the interaction of water particles and their reaction to Orion Spacecraft landing on the surface of the water. The goal for this project is to create a water simulation using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics combined with numerical stability, nearest neighbors algorithm, boundary conditions, and visualization.
