Landslides that impact into water (such as lakes) can generate waves due to the energy transfer from the solid to the water. These submerged waves, or more specifically solitons, are well known and have been studied for many years specially because of their massive energy and destructive potential. However, analitical approches of this problem are difficult. In another words, the wave’s generation phase is complex, primary due to the determination of the free surface (splash) and correlation between the energy of the landslide and the genereted wave. So, numerical methods are an alternative and interesting option. Among the recently used numerical methods, the mesh free has become notorious because of its advantages. Without the mesh restrain, free surface problems are easier to handle. In this context it is proposed a program based on SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodymanics) model, developed in this Thesis and tested in different scenarios considering the flow of ideal (dam break, wave generation and wave breaking and reservoir) and newtonian fluids (free surface Poiseuille flow, plane Poiseuille flow, Couette flow and dam break). So, the numerical code is used in order to evaluate the solitary wave height that is generated from the impact of a mass, which represents a landslide in a fluid. The mass is represented by two forms: an undeformable solid block and an ideal fluid. Both forms are tested, and the solitary wave is reproduced, and compared to experiments. Differences are noted among wave heights using a solid block, as reported by the literature. The comparison with the results from the mass represented as an ideal fluid showed a good approach for both the shape and the wave amplitude
