An Adaptive Variational Finite Difference Framework for Efficient Symmetric Octree Viscosity

Ryan Goldade, Yipeng Wang, Mridul Aanjaneya, Christopher Batty While pressure forces are often the bottleneck in (near-)inviscid fluid simulations, viscosity can impose orders of magnitude greater computational costs at lower Reynolds numbers. We propose an implicit octree finite difference discretization … Continue reading

Procedural Tectonic Plates

Y. Cortial, A. Peytavie, E. Galin, E. Guérin We present a procedural method for authoring synthetic tectonic planets. Instead of relying on computationally demanding physically-based simulations, we capture the fundamental phenomena into a procedural method that faithfully reproduces large-scale planetary … Continue reading

Mixing Sauces: A Viscosity Blending Model for Shear Thinning Fluids

Kentaro Nagasawa, Takayuki Suzuki, Ryohei Seto, Masato Okada, Yonghao Yue The materials around us usually exist as mixtures of constituents, each constituent with possibly a different elasto-viscoplastic property. How can we describe the material property of such a mixture is … Continue reading
