Authors may choose one of the following two categories for their extended abstract submission (Please check the “guide for authors and reviewers” ):

• Fundamental SPH research
• SPH practical/industrial applications

and must use the templates provided (MS Word and LaTeX templates). For abstracts that may not align well with one of these two categories, authors may choose the one closest to their work.

The extended abstracts must be a maximum of 3 pages in length and should include at least one illustrative figure outlining the quality of the results. A comparison with reference solutions or SPHERIC benchmark cases is highly encouraged.  

A PDF version of the extended abstract should be sent by e-mail to spheric2025.lim@upc.edu before January 10, 2025. Authors are kindly requested to indicate in their e-mail the following: 

• whether the abstract refers to:

1. – Fundamental SPH research
2. – SPH practical/industrial applications

• assign their contribution to at least three Conference Topics
• whether their abstract should be considered for a Special Session and, if so, specify the Special Session number.
• indicate your preference for oral or poster sessions.
• students should indicate if they wish to participate in the Libersky Prize.
• nominate a paper for the Joe Monaghan Prize 2025: HERE

Please, consider that a prize for the best poster will be awarded during the congress.

The email must have as subject :

“SPHERIC 2025 Abstract – Last_Name_of_Corresponding_Author”   

The abstracts will be assessed by at least three SPH experts from the scientific committee using a double – blind peer-review process. The quality of the abstracts will be assessed using averaged ratings for three equally important criteria than can be found in the “guide for authors and reviewers” document also, briefly highlighted below:

• For a fundamental SPH research abstract the criteria are:

• For an industrial application abstract the criteria are:

Notification of acceptance for publication will be given on or before the 3^rd February 2025 by email.

The Libersky Prize is awarded at every SPHERIC World Conference for the best student “extended abstract & presentation” judged by the Scientific Committee. Student authors who would like to sign up for the student prize should indicate it in their email during the submission of the paper. To be eligible for the student prize, the student must be the first author on the paper, present the work and attend the final ceremony.

The award is named in honour of Prof. Larry Libersky, one of the pioneers of SPH in engineering.
