Abstract
An implementation of the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method to study the dynamics of liquid metal targets under the effect of high power proton beams is presented. The accuracy of the method is verified through the comparison of numerical simulations with experimental results on liquid mercury performed in ISOLDE/CERN. The results are in good agreement and allow to have a better insight on the physics of the phenomenon.
