Mixed Material Point Methods for Stiff Elastoplasticity

Gilles Daviet We present a family of mixed Material Point Methods well suited to CFL-rate simulation of stiff elastoviscoplastic materials, up to the incompressible limit. Our work builds on the mixed discretization from Daviet and Bertails-Descoubes [2016a] and extends it … Continue reading

Boundary-aware Neural Model Reduction for PDEs

Li Liao, Pengfei Shen, Yifan Peng Eigenanalysis of partial differential operators is central to reduced-order physical simulation, but neural shape-space eigenanalysis has largely been limited to natural Neumann boundary conditions. This prevents direct control over supports, openings, heat-exchange boundaries, and … Continue reading

Physics-inspired procedural texturing of extremely deformable surfaces

Aleksei Kalinov, Mickaël Ly, Christian Hafner, Chris Wojtan The appearance of simulated natural phenomena heavily depends on the way surfaces are textured. However, applying texture maps to dynamic deformable surfaces presents a significant challenge, due to ever-shifting differences in length … Continue reading

A Nonlocal Monolithic Variational Framework for Free Surface Flows

Shusen Liu, Yuzhong Guo, Lixin Ren, Ying Qiao, Xiaowei He Simulating free-surface flows requires capturing the effects of incompress-ibility, viscosity, and surface tension. Existing particle-based methods oftenrely on operator splitting, which introduces coupling artifacts and limits sta-bility. We propose a … Continue reading

The Granule-In-Cell Method for Simulating Sand–Water Mixtures

Yizao Tang, Yuechen Zhu, Xingyu Ni, Baoquan Chen The simulation of sand–water mixtures requires capturing the stochastic behavior of individual sand particles within a uniform, continuous fluid medium, such as the characteristic of migration, deposition, and plugging across various scenarios. … Continue reading
