Real-Time Reconstruction of Fluid Flow under Unknown Disturbance

Kinfung Chu, Jiawei Huang, Hidemasa Takan, Yoshifumi Kitamura We present a framework that captures sparse Lagrangian flow information from a volume of real liquid and reconstructs its detailed kinematic information in real time. Our framework can perform flow reconstruction even when the liquid is disturbed by an object of unknown movement and shape. Through a […]

Progressive Shell Quasistatics for Unstructured Meshes

Jiayi Eris Zhang, Jérémie Dumas, Yun (Raymond) Fei, Alec Jacobson, Doug L. James, Danny M. Kaufman Thin shell structures exhibit complex behaviors critical for modeling and design across wide-ranging applications. Capturing their mechanical response requires finely detailed, high-resolution meshes. Corresponding simulations for predicting equilibria with these meshes are expensive, whereas coarse-mesh simulations can be fast […]

3D Bézier Guarding: Boundary-Conforming Curved Tetrahedral Meshing

Payam Khanteimouri, Marcel Campen We present a method for the generation of higher-order tetrahedral meshes. In contrast to previous methods, the curved tetrahedral elements are guaranteed to be free of degeneracies and inversions while conforming exactly to prescribed piecewise polynomial surfaces, such as domain boundaries or material interfaces. Arbitrary polynomial order is supported. Algorithmically, the […]
