The treatment of dilute solid (or liquid) phases via Lagrangian particles within mesh-based gas-dynamics (or hydrodynamic) codes is common in computational fluid dynamics. While these techniques work very well for a large spectrum of physical parameters, in some cases, notably for very light or very heavy particles, numerical instabilities appear. The present paper examines ways of mitigating these instabilities, and summarizes important implementational issues.
