The paper presents a mathematical model of urine flow inside a male urinary system. The problem is simulated as an isothermal transient flow of Newtonian fluid, which is modelled by smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). The basic theory of SPH, which is a meshless method using a Lagrangian approach to fluid flow modelling, is presented. Results of SPH simulations are compared with results gained using other numerical methods.
