He Chen, Elie Diaz, Cem Yuksel We introduce a method for efficiently computing the exact shortest path to the boundary of a mesh from a given internal point in the presence of self-intersections. We provide a formal definition of shortest … Continue reading →

Gilles Daviet We devise a local–global solver dedicated to the simulation of Discrete Elastic Rods (DER) with Coulomb friction that can fully leverage the massively parallel compute capabilities of moderns GPUs. We verify that our simulator can reproduce analytical results … Continue reading →

Hang Yin, Mohammad Sina Nabizadeh, Baichun Wu, Stephanie Wang, Albert Chern The vorticity-streamfunction formulation for incompressible inviscid fluids is the basis for many fluid simulation methods in computer graphics, including vortex methods, streamfunction solvers, spectral methods, and Monte Carlo methods. … Continue reading →

Tianye Xie, Minchen Li, Yin Yang, Chenfanfu Jiang We present a robust and efficient method for simulating Lagrangian solid-fluid coupling based on a new operator splitting strategy. We use variational formulations to approximate fluid properties and solid-fluid interactions, and introduce … Continue reading →
