Shan Yang, Ming C. Lin We present a practical approach for automatically estimating the material properties of soft bodies from two sets of images, taken before and after deformation. We reconstruct 3D geometry from the given sets of multiple-view images; … Continue reading →

Omar Zarifi, Christopher Batty We present a new approach to simulation of two-way coupling between inviscid free surface fluids and deformable bodies that exhibits several notable advantages over previous techniques. By fully incorporating the dynamics of the solid into pressure … Continue reading →

Jan Bender, Dan Koschier, Tassilo Kugelstadt, Marcel Weiler In this paper we introduce a novel micropolar material model for the simulation of turbulent inviscid fluids. The governing equations are solved by using the concept of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). As … Continue reading →

Hendrik Hochstetter, Andreas Kolb In this paper we present a method to simulate evaporation and condensation of liquids. Therefore, both the air and liquid phases have to be simulated. We use, as a carrier of vapor, a coarse grid for the … Continue reading →

Stefan Reinhardt, Markus Huber, Bernhard Eberhardt, Daniel Weiskopf We present a novel method for fully asynchronous time integration of particle-based fluids using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). With our approach, we allow a dedicated time step for each particle. Therefore, we are able to increase … Continue reading →

Dan Koschier, Jan Bender In this paper, we present the novel concept of density maps for robust handling of static and rigid dynamic boundaries in fluid simulations based on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). In contrast to the vast majority of … Continue reading →

Stefan Jeschke, Chris Wojtan This paper presents a method for simulating water surface waves as a displacement field on a 2D domain. Our method relies on Lagrangian particles that carry packets of water wave energy; each packet carries information about … Continue reading →

Jieyu Chu, Nafees Bin Zafar, Xubo Yang We present an algorithmically efficient and parallelized domain decomposition based approach to solving Poisson’s equation on irregular domains. Our technique employs the Schur complement method, which permits a high degree of parallel efficiency … Continue reading →

Zherong Pan and Dinesh Manocha We present a novel algorithm to control the physically-based animation of smoke. Given a set of keyframe smoke shapes, we compute a dense sequence of control force fields that can drive the smoke shape to match … Continue reading →

Matthias Müller, Nuttapong Chentanez, Miles Macklin, Stefan Jeschke The two main constraints used in rigid body simulations are contacts and joints. Both constrain the motion of a small number of bodies in close proximity. However, it is often the case … Continue reading →
