GPU Gems 3 is out, and it contains a chapter on real-time 3D simulation & rendering of fluids (smoke and liquids) on the GPU, and is available as a free sample chapter online. You may have seen some of these results before on Keenan Crane’s website. GPU Gems 3

We present a fast method for physically-based animation of fluids on adaptive, unstructured meshes. Our algorithm is capable of correctly handling large-scale fluid forces, as well as their interaction with elastic objects. Our adaptive mesh representation can resolve boundary conditions accurately while maintaining a high level of efficiency. Fast Fluid Simulation using Residual Distribution Schemes

We propose a new framework for solving General Shallow Wave Equations (GSWE) in order to efficiently simulate water flows on solid surfaces under shallow wave assumptions. Within this framework, we develop implicit schemes for solving the external forces applied to water, including gravity and surface tension. We also present a two-way coupling method to model […]

Turing first theorized that many biological patterns arise through the processes of reaction and diffusion. Subsequently, reaction-diffusion systems have been studied in many fields, including computer graphics. We first show that for visual simulation purposes, reaction-diffusion equations can be made unconditionally stable using a variety of straightforward methods. Second, we propose an anisotropy embedding that […]
