This is a preliminary theoretical discussion on the computational
requirements of the state of the art smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) from
the optics of pattern recognition and artificial intelligence. It is pointed
out in the present paper that, when including anisotropy detection to improve
resolution on shock layer, SPH is a very peculiar case of unsupervised machine
learning. On the other hand, the free particle nature of SPH opens an
opportunity for artificial intelligence to study particles as agents acting in
a collaborative framework in which the timed outcomes of a fluid simulation
forms a large knowledge base, which might be very attractive in computational
astrophysics phenomenological problems like self-propagating star formation.Comment: Submitted to the International Conference on Mathematical Modeling in
