Description

Assuming incompressibility of the fluid, the viscous acceleration simplifies to
$$\frac{d\textbf{v}}{dt} = \frac{\eta}{\rho} \nabla^2 \textbf{v}$$

In Price 2012 the second derivative of a vector is given as

where

Why is Adami 2012 discretizing the above viscous acceleration this way:

Is this the same? Where is the factor of 2?

Research direction

Start with the Price 2012 and Adami 2012 discretizations shown in the issue, and trace how the viscous acceleration is represented in the repository's smoothed-particle hydrodynamics implementation. Clarify whether the formulations are equivalent and account for the apparent factor of 2; done means documenting a technically supported explanation.
