We present a unified dynamics framework for real-time visual effects. Using particles
connected by constraints as our fundamental building block allows us to treat contact and …

Physically based deformable models have been widely embraced by the Computer
Graphics community. Many problems outlined in a previous survey by Gibson and Mirtich …

We present the Rigid Fluid method, a technique for animating the interplay between rigid
bodies and viscous incompressible fluid with free surfaces. We use distributed Lagrange …

This article introduces the Hierarchical Run-Length Encoded (H-RLE) Level Set data
structure. This novel data structure combines the best features of the DT-Grid (of Nielsen and …

Simulating fluids in large-scale scenes with appreciable quality using state-of-the-art
methods can lead to high memory and compute requirements. Since memory requirements …

A new method is presented to simulate rigid body motion in the Volume-of-Fluid based
multiphase code Free Surface 3D. The specific feature of the new method is that it works …

Turbulent vortices in smoke flows are crucial for a visually interesting appearance.
Unfortunately, it is challenging to efficiently simulate these appealing effects in the …

An efficient method for modelling incompressible free surface flows is presented. The
method unites the projection method for solving the Navier–Stokes equations and the …

In the field of computer graphics, physically-based fluids simulations (ie, simulations that
solve the equations that govern fluids behaviour) are performed using, among others, Stam's …

The Lie derivative, and Exterior Calculus in general, is ubiquitous in the elegant geometric
interpretation of many dynamical systems. We extend recent trends towards a Discrete …
