Resolving Fluid Boundary Layers With Particle-Strength Exchange and Weak Adaptivity

This paper presents an easy-to-implement method to resolve fluid phenomena produced at the boundary layer due to small viscosity.

Schrödinger's Smoke

A new method for simulation of fluids that is particularly adept at representing vorticity and the intricate visual phenomena that depend on it. The method takes ideas from quantum mechanics for an entirely new approach to fluid simulation, yet the resulting algorithms are very simple and efficient.

Surface-Only Liquids

A new liquid-simulation technique that operates on the surface only, without ever discretizing the volume, based on Helmholtz decomposition and the Bound Element Method.

Efficient Fluid Simulation on the Surface of a Sphere

Formulated with primitive variables and a correct treatment of geometric terms arising from general curvilinear coordinates, this method for fluid flow on the surface of a sphere provides control parameters for art directability.

Multiphase SPH Simulation for Interactive Fluids and Solids

This paper extends existing multiple-fluid SPH frameworks to cover solid phases, including elasto-plastic solids, hypo-plastic solids, and granular materials. The generalized multiphase SPH framework is able to simulate interaction between multiple fluids and deformable solids, flow in porous media, and dissolution of deformable solids.
