History

An example planetary simulation of the first 10 hours of a grazing giant impact onto the proto-Earth (a roughly canonical Moon-forming impact) with the simple Tillotson equation of state and 10^5 SPH particles.

See Kegerreis et al. (2019), Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc., 487:4 for more about using SWIFT for planetary simulations.

More examples and planetary-specific documentation coming soon!

This example requires the code to be configured to use the planetary hydrodynamics scheme and equations of state: --with-hydro=planetary --with-equation-of-state=planetary
