Daniel Weber, Jan Bender, Markus Schnoes, Andre Stork and Dieter Fellner We present GPU data structures and algorithms to efficiently solve sparse linear systems which are typically required in simulations of multibody systems and deformable bodies. Thereby, we introduce an … Continue reading →

Shengfeng He, Rynson W. H. Lau Capturing fine details of turbulence on a coarse grid is one of the main tasks in real-time fluid simulation. Existing methods for doing this have various limitations. In this paper, we propose a new … Continue reading →

Romain Casati, Florence Bertails-Descoubes Thin elastic filaments in real world such as vine tendrils, hair ringlets or curled ribbons often depict a very smooth, curved shape that low-order rod models — e.g., segment-based rods — fail to reproduce accurately and … Continue reading →

Oleksiy Busaryev, Tamal K. Dey, Huamin Wang The fractures of thin plates often exhibit complex physical behaviors in the real world. In particular, fractures caused by tearing are different from fractures caused by in-plane motions. In this paper, we study … Continue reading →

Zhili Chen, Renguo Feng, Huamin Wang Real-world cloth exhibits complex behaviors when it contacts deformable bodies. In this paper, we study how to improve the simulation of cloth-body interactions from three perspectives: collision, friction, and air pressure. We propose an … Continue reading →

Ryoichi Ando, Nils Thürey and Chris Wojtan We introduce a new method for efficiently simulating liquid with extreme amounts of spatial adaptivity. Our method combines several key components to drastically speed up the simulation of large-scale fluid phenomena: We leverage an … Continue reading →

Michael B. Nielsen, Ole Osterby Physics based simulation of the dynamics of water spray – water droplets dispersed in air – is a means to increase the visual plausibility of computer graphics modeled phenomena such as waterfalls, water jets and … Continue reading →

Matt Stanton, Yu Sheng, Martin Wicke, Federico Perazzi, Amos Yuen, Srinivasa Narasimhan, Adrien Treuille This paper extends Galerkin projection to a large class of non-polynomial functions typically encountered in graphics. We demonstrate the broad applicability of our approach by applying it to two strikingly different problems: … Continue reading →

Miles Macklin, Matthias Müller In fluid simulation, enforcing incompressibility is crucial for realism; it is also computationally expensive. Recent work has improved efficiency, but still requires time-steps that are impractical for real-time applications. In this work we present an iterative density … Continue reading →

Matthias Mueller, Nuttapong Chentanez, Tae-Yong Kim We propose a new fast, robust and controllable method to simulate the dynamic destruction of large and complex objects in real time. The common method for fracture simulation in computer games is to pre-fracture … Continue reading →
