“…Chen and Lobo [4] extended the height field approach by using the pressure arising from a 2D solution of the NavierStokes equations to modulate surface elevation. O'Brien and Hodgins [20] simulated splashing liquids by combining a particle system and height field, while Miller and Pearce [19] used viscous springs between particles to achieve dynamic flow in 3D.…”

We present a general method for modeling and animating liquids. The system is specifically designed for computer animation and handles viscous liquids as they move in a 3D environment and interact with graphics primitives such as parametric curves and moving polygons. We combine an appropriately modified semiLagrangian method with a new approach to calculating fluid flow around objects. This allows us to efficiently solve the equations of motion for a liquid while retaining enough detail to obtain realistic looking behavior. The object interaction mechanism is extended to provide control over the liquid's 3D motion. A high quality surface is obtained from the resulting velocity field using a novel adaptive technique for evolving an implicit surface.

“…In computer graphics, particles are a popular primitive for the simulation and rendering of numerous effects including cloth, water, steam, smoke, and fire [1,2,3]. Producing high quality liquid animations can require hundreds of thousands of particles and take several minutes to compute a single frame [4].…”

Abstract. Large scale particle-based fluid simulation is important to both the scientific and computer graphics communities. In this paper, we explore the effectiveness of implementing smoothed particle hydrodynamics on the streaming architecture of a GPU. A dynamic quadtree structure is proposed to accelerate the computation of inter-particle forces. Our method readily extends to higher dimensions without undue increase in memory or computation costs. We show that a GPU implementation runs nearly an order of magnitude faster than our CPU version for large problem sizes.

“…Reeves (1983) uses particles to model fuzzy objects (e.g., fire works). Miller and Pearce (1989) utilize pairwise particle interactions to model viscous fluids. Terzopoulos et al (1991) model melting objects with interacting particles connected by springs whose constants are modified as the object changes its phase.…”

We propose a method of fluid simulation where boundary conditions are designed in such a way that fluid flow through porous media, pipes, and chokes can be realistically simulated. Such flows are known to be low Reynolds number incompressible flows and occur in many real life situations. To obtain a high quality fluid surface, we include a scalar value in isofunction. The scalar value indicates the relative position of each particle with respect to the fluid surface.
