We propose an ellipsoidal particle model for the Moving Particle Hydrodynamics (MPH) method to reduce the computational cost in thin calculation geometries. The Lagrangian and dissipation functions of the MPH method are extended for an ellipsoidal particle model, which has an ellipsoidal influence domain. The governing equations of the ellipsoidal MPH method are derived from the extended Lagrangian with dissipation. The proposed ellipsoidal MPH method was applied to calculate a hydrostatic problem, the evolution of a droplet, and a dam break problem. The results of the former two calculations showed good agreement with the theoretical solutions. In the dam break calculation, the front position agreed well with the experiment, both with and without the ellipsoidal particle model. However, the dependence on the aspect ratio of the ellipsoidal particle was observed in the shape of splashes.
