Aaron Demby Jones, Pradeep Sen, Theodore Kim Subspace fluid simulations, also known as reduced-order simulations, can be extremely fast, but also require basis matrices that consume an enormous amount of memory. Motivated by the extreme sparsity of Laplacian eigenfunctions in … Continue reading →

Danyong Zhao, Yijing Li, Jernej Barbic In standard deformable object simulation in computer animation, all the mesh elements or vertices are timestepped synchronously, i.e., under the same timestep. Previous asynchronous methods have been largely limited to explicit integration. We demonstrate … Continue reading →

Nuttapong Chentanez, Matthias Müller, Miles Macklin Shape matching is a popular method for simulating deformable objects in real time as it is fast and stable at large time steps. Although shape matching can simulate large elastic deformation and ductile fracturing, until … Continue reading →

Sheng Yang Xiaowei He Huamin Wang Sheng Li Guoping Wang Enhua Wu Kun Zhou Capillary waves are difficult to simulate due to their fast traveling speed and high frequency. In this paper, we propose to approximate capillary wave effects by … Continue reading →

Tassilo Kugelstadt, Elmar Schoemer We present a novel method to simulate bending and torsion of elastic rods within the position-based dynamics (PBD) framework. The main challenge is that torsion effects of Cosserat rods are described in terms of material frames … Continue reading →

Tao Yang, Ming C. Lin, Ralph R. Martin, Jian Chang, and Shi-Min Hu The realistic capture of various interactions at interfaces is a challenging problem for SPH-based simulation. Previous works have mainly considered a single type of interaction, while real-world … Continue reading →

Rahul Narain, Matthew Overby, George E. Brown We apply the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) optimization algorithm to implicit time integration of elastic bodies, and show that the resulting method closely relates to the recently proposed projective dynamics algorithm. However, … Continue reading →

Dan Koschier, Crispin Deul, Jan Bender In this paper we propose a novel method to construct hierarchical $hp$-adaptive Signed Distance Fields (SDFs). We discretize the signed distance function of an input mesh using piecewise polynomials on an axis-aligned hexahedral grid. Besides … Continue reading →

Aviv Segall, Orestis Vantzos, Mirela Ben-Chen Hele-Shaw flow describes the slow flow of a viscous liquid between two parallel plates separated by a small gap. In some configurations such a flow generates instabilities known as Saffman-Taylor fingers, which form intricate visual … Continue reading →
