Aron Monszpart, Nils Thuerey, Niloy J. Mitra Collision sequences are commonly used in games and entertainment to add drama and excitement. Authoring even two body collisions in the real world can be difficult, as one has to get timing and the object … Continue reading →

Yun Teng, David I.W. Levin, Theodore Kim We present a new method that achieves a two-way coupling between deformable solids and an incompressible fluid where the underlying geometric representation is entirely Eulerian. Using the recently developed Eulerian Solids approach [Levin … Continue reading →

Haixiang Liu, Nathan Mitchell, Mridul Aanjaneya, Eftychios Sifakis We present a scalable parallel solver for the pressure Poisson equation in fluids simulation which can accommodate complex irregular domains in the order of a billion degrees of freedom, using a single … Continue reading →

Marco Fratarcangeli, Valentina Tibaldo, Fabio Pellacini The solution of large sparse systems of linear constraints is at the base of most interactive solvers for physically-based animation of soft body dynamics. We focus on applications with hard and tight per-frame resource budgets, such … Continue reading →

Huamin Wang, Yin Yang We show that many existing elastic body simulation approaches can be interpreted as descent methods, under a nonlinear optimization framework derived from implicit time integration. The key question is how to find an effective descent direction … Continue reading →

Rosell Torres, Alejandro Rodríguez, José Miguel Espadero, Miguel A. Otaduy This paper presents a numerical coarsening method for corotational elasticity, which enables interactive large deformation of high-resolution heterogeneous objects. Our method derives a coarse elastic model from a high-resolution discretization … Continue reading →

José A. Canabal, David Miraut, Nils Thürey, Theodore Kim, Javier Portilla, Miguel A. Otaduy We propose a method to simulate the rich, scale-dependent dynamics of water waves. Our method preserves the dispersion properties of real waves, yet it supports interactions … Continue reading →

Yijing Li, Hongyi Xu, Jernej Barbič We present a system to combine arbitrary triangle mesh animations with physically based Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation, enabling control over the combination both in space and time. The input is a triangle mesh … Continue reading →

Tetsuya Takahashi, Yoshinori Dobashi, Tomoyuki Nishita, Ming Lin We propose a hybrid Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics solver for efficiently simulating incompressible fluids using an interface handling method for boundary conditions in the pressure Poisson equation. We blend particle density computed with … Continue reading →

Tetsuya Takahashi, Ming Lin We propose a geometric multilevel solver for efficiently solving linear systems arising from particle-based methods. To apply this method to particle systems, we construct the hierarchy, establish the correspondence between solutions at the particle and grid … Continue reading →
