A Multi-Scale Model for Coupling Strands with Shear-Dependent Liquid

Yun (Raymond) Fei, Christopher Batty, Eitan Grinspun, Changxi Zheng We propose a framework for simulating the complex dynamics of strands interacting with compressible, shear-dependent liquids, such as oil paint, mud, cream, melted chocolate, and pasta sauce. Our framework contains three main components: the strands modeled as discrete rods, the bulk liquid represented as a continuum […]

A Scalable Galerkin Multigrid Method for Real-time Simulation of Deformable Objects

Zangyueyang Xian, Xin Tong, Tiantian Liu We propose a simple yet efficient multigrid scheme to simulate high-resolution deformable objects in their full spaces at interactive frame rates. The point of departure of our method is the Galerkin projection which is simple to construct. However, a naive Galerkin multigrid does not scale well for large and […]
