Abstract In the present study, 2D Poisson-type equation is solved by a meshless Symmetric Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SSPH) method. The influence of the kernel function, smoothing length and particle discretizations of problem domain on the solutions of Poisson-type equations is investigated. Compared with other kernel functions, the cubic B-spline kernel function shows good capacity to reproduce a complicated function value and its first and second derivatives, when the smoothing length is chosen as 1.1 times the particles’ distance. Several types of Poisson equations are solved by SSPH method, and the numerical results exhibit a very good accuracy when comparing with the analytical solutions.
