Closest Point Turbulence for Liquid Surfaces

Theodore Kim, Jerry Tessendorf, Nils Thuerey We propose a method of increasing the apparent spatial resolution of an existing liquid simulation. Previous approaches to this “up-resing” problem have focused on increasing the turbulence of the underlying velocity field. Motivated by … Continue reading
