Nathan Mitchell, Court Cutting, Eftychios Sifakis We present an interactive simulation framework for authoring surgical procedures of soft tissue manipulation using physics-based simulation to animate the flesh. This interactive authoring tool can be used by clinical educators to craft three-dimensional illustrations of the intricate … Continue reading →

Yonghao Yue, Breannan Smith, Christopher Batty, Changxi Zheng, Eitan Grinspun We consider the simulation of dense foams composed of microscopic bubbles, such as shaving cream and whipped cream. We represent foam not as a collection of discrete bubbles, but instead … Continue reading →

Yufeng Zhu, Robert Bridson, Chen Greif We present a new brittle fracture simulation method based on a boundary integral formulation of elasticity and recent explicit surface mesh evolution algorithms. Unlike prior physically-based simulations in graphics, this avoids the need for … Continue reading →

Chenfanfu Jiang, Craig Schroeder, Andrew Selle, Joseph Teran, Alexey Stomakhin Hybrid Lagrangian/Eulerian simulation is commonplace in computer graphics for fluids and other materials undergoing large deformation. In these methods, particles are used to resolve transport and topological change, while a background Eulerian grid is … Continue reading →

Bin Wang, Longhua Wu, Kangkang Yin, Uri Ascher, Libin Liu, Hui Huang We present a data-driven method for the deformation capture and physics-based modeling of soft deformable objects. Our framework enables both realistic motion reconstruction and synthesis of virtual soft … Continue reading →

Bo Zhu, Minjae Lee, Ed Quigley, Ronald Fedkiw We present a novel method to simulate codimensional nonNewtonian fluids on simplicial complexes. Our method extends previous work for codimensional incompressible flow to various types of non-Newtonian fluids including both shear thinning … Continue reading →

Nuttapong Chentanez, Matthias Mueller, Miles Macklin, Tae-Yong Kim We present a novel explicit surface tracking method. Its main advantage over existing approaches is the fact that it is both completely grid-free and fast which makes it ideal for the use … Continue reading →

Matthias Mueller, Nuttapong Chentanez, Tae-Yong Kim, Miles Macklin We propose a new method for both collision detection and collision response geared towards handling complex deformable objects in close contact. Our method does not miss collision events between time steps and … Continue reading →

Ryoichi Ando, Nils Thuerey, Chris Wojtan This paper presents a liquid simulation technique that enforces the incompressibility condition using a stream function solve instead of a pressure projection. Previous methods have used stream function techniques for the simulation of detailed … Continue reading →

Fang Da, Christopher Batty, Chris Wojtan, Eitan Grinspun Simulating the delightful dynamics of soap films, bubbles, and foams has traditionally required the use of a fully three-dimensional many-phase Navier-Stokes solver, even though their visual appearance is completely dominated by the … Continue reading →
