  Smoothed Dissipative Particle Dynamics (SDPD) is a mesoscopic method which
allows to select the level of resolution at which a fluid is simulated. The aim
of this work is to extend SDPD to chemically reactive systems.To this end, an
additional progress variable is attached to each mesoparticle and evolves
according to chemical kinetics. This reactive SDPD model is illustrated with
numerical studies of the shock-to-detonation transition in nitromethane as well
as the stationary behavior of the reactive wave.
