Fluid Simulation Using Laplacian Eigenfunctions

Tyler de Witt, Christian Lessig, Eugene Fiume We present an algorithm for the simulation of incompressible fluid phenomena that is computationally efficient and leads to visually convincing simulations with far fewer degrees of freedom than existing approaches. Rather than using … Continue reading →

Updated Sparse Cholesky Factors for Corotational Elastodynamics

Florian Hecht, Yeon Jin Lee, Jonathan Shewchuk, James O’Brien We present warp-canceling corotation, a nonlinear finite element formulation for elastodynamic simulation that achieves fast performance by making only partial or delayed changes to the simulation’s linearized system matrices. Coupled with … Continue reading →

Steady state Stokes flow interpolation for fluid control

Haimasree Bhattacharya, Michael Nielsen, Robert Bridson Fluid control methods often require surface velocities interpolated throughout the interior of a shape to use the velocity as a feedback force or as a boundary condition. Prior methods for interpolation in computer graphics — velocity … Continue reading →

Explicit Mesh Surfaces for Particle Based Fluids

Jihun Yu, Chris Wojtan, Greg Turk, Chee Yap We introduce the idea of using an explicit triangle mesh to track the air/fluid interface in a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulator. Once an initial surface mesh is created, this mesh is … Continue reading →

Multi-FLIP for Energetic Two-Phase Fluid Simulation

Landon Boyd, Robert Bridson Physically-based liquid animations often ignore the influence of air, giving up interesting behaviour. We present a new method which treats both air and liquid as incompressible, more accurately reproducing the reality observed at scales relevant to computer … Continue reading →

A Hybrid Iterative Solver for Robustly Capturing Coulomb Friction in Hair Dynamics

Gilles Daviet, Florence Bertails-Descoubes, Laurence Boissieux Dry friction between hair fibers plays a major role in the collective hair dynamic behavior as it accounts for typical nonsmooth features such as stick-slip instabilities. However, due the challenges posed by the modeling … Continue reading →

SPH Based Shallow Water Simulation

Barbara Solenthaler, Peter Bucher, Nuttapong Chentanez, Matthias Muller, Markus Gross We present an efficient method that uses particles to solve the 2D shallow water equations. These equations describe the dynamics of a body of water represented by a height field. … Continue reading →
