If
you
see
a
movie
,
or
a
TV
advertisement
,
that
involves
a
fluid
behaving
in
an
unusual
way
,
it
was
probably
made
using
technology
based
on
the
work
of
a
Monash
researcher
.
Professor
Joseph
Monaghan
____________________
pioneered
an
influential

Professor
Monaghan
,
one
of
only
17
members

2011
,
was
recognized
for
developing
the

His
research
started
in
1977
when
he
tried
to
use
computer
simulation
to
describe
the
formation
of
stars
and
stellar
systems
.
The
algorithms
available
at
the
time
were

of

that

Professor
Monaghan
,
and
____________________
colleague
Bob
Gingold
,
took
the
novel
and
effective
approach
of
replacing
the
fluid
or
gas
in
the
simulation
with
large
numbers
of
particles
with
properties
that

.
SPH
has
become
a
central
tool
in
astrophysics
,
where
it
is
currently
used
to
simulate
the
evolution
of
the
universe
after
the
Big
Bang
,
the
