Non-manifold Level Sets: A multivalued implicit surface representation with applications to self-collision processing

Nathan Mitchell, Mridul Aanjaneya, Rajsekhar Setaluri, Eftychios Sifakis Level sets have been established as highly versatile implicit surface representations, with widespread use in graphics applications including modeling and dynamic simulation. Nevertheless, level sets are often presumed to be limited, compared … Continue reading

An Efficient Boundary Handling with a Modified Density Calculation for SPH

Makoto Fujisawa, Kenjiro T. Miura We propose a new boundary handling method for smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). Previous approaches required the use of boundary particles to prevent particles from sticking to the boundary. We address this issue by correcting the fundamental … Continue reading
