Divergence-Free Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

Jan Bender, Dan Koschier In this paper we introduce an efficient and stable implicit SPH method for the physically-based simulation of incompressible fluids. In the area of computer graphics the most efficient SPH approaches focus solely on the correction of … Continue reading

Functional Thin Films on Surfaces

Omri Azencot, Orestis Vantzos, Max Wardetzky, Martin Rumpf, Mirela Ben-Chen The motion of a thin viscous film of fluid on a curved surface exhibits many intricate visual phenomena, which are challenging to simulate using existing techniques. A possible alternative is … Continue reading

Multifarious Hierarchies of Mechanical Models for Artist Assigned Levels-of-Detail

Richard Malgat, Benjamin Gilles, David I.W. Levin, Mathieu Nesme, Francois Faure We present a new framework for artist driven level of detail in solid simulations. Simulated objects are simultaneously embedded in several, separately designed deformation models with their own independent … Continue reading

An Implicit Viscosity Formulation for SPH Fluids

Andreas Peer, Markus Ihmsen, Jens Cornelis, Matthias Teschner We present a novel implicit formulation for highly viscous fluids simulated with Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics SPH. Compared to explicit methods, our formulation is significantly more efficient and handles a larger range of viscosities. Differing from … Continue reading

Fluid Volume Modeling from Sparse Multi-view Images by Appearance Transfer

Makoto Okabe, Yoshinori Dobashi, Ken Anjyo, Rikio Onai We propose a method of three-dimensional (3D) modeling of volumetric fluid phenomena from sparse multi-view images (e.g., only a single-view input or a pair of front- and side-view inputs). The volume determined … Continue reading
