  1. Fluid Simulation for Graphics Minor project under guidance of Prof. P. Kalra Abhinav Golas Akram Khan

  2. Outline • Fluid animation • What it is • What it is not • Uses • Models • Work done • Work done earlier • Current focus • Future work

  3. Fluid animation • Modeling and Rendering fluids in a manner which is visually appealing • NOT a numerically complete simulation • Model is scenario dependent – computationally expensive

  4. Uses • Movies! – Titanic, Ice Age, LOTR etc. • Games! – All!

  5. The Navier Stokes Equation • Governs all fluid behaviour • PDE – no closed form • Solutions only through numerical simulation • Issues of numerical errors, and stability • Computationally very expensive • Boundary conditions and level of discretisation important

  6. Models • Heightfield generation • For showing ocean surfaces • Used when field of view is large • Doesn’t directly solve Navier Stokes – uses generalised solutions • CFD – Computational Fluid Dynamics • Iteratively solve NS eqns for a 3D grid • Surface reconstruction – recent work • Fixed grid positions – Eulerian approach

  7. Models • Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics • System as collection of fluid particles • Governed by NS eqns • Surface reconstruction

  8. Surface reconstruction • Problem: • Given a set of particles, need to generate a smooth wrapping surface • Approach (currently used) • Level sets • Hybrid approach (level sets + curvature measures)

  9. Work done earlier • Literature review to find current state-of-the-art • Issues in simulation of different types of fluids: • Viscous • Snow • Fire

  10. Current focus • Getting implementations of the state-of-the-art methods • Heightfields • CFD • SPH • References • SIGGRAPH 2004 course on realistic nature animation • SIGGRAPH 2006 course on fluid simulation

  11. Progress • Some heightfields implemented • Gerstner waves (video on site) • Statistics based ocean waves • Velocity field based animation • Choppy waves (currently underway) • Work on CFD • Making an implementation

  12. Some results

  13. Some results

  14. Future work • Complete implementations of these fluid simulation methods • Identify areas for further improvement/research • Spray/Foam • Bubbles
