What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

Ever since NVIDIA acquired AGEIA and assimilated their PhysX IP, there has been an outcry for more triple-A game titles that fully utilize the technology. Currently there are only a handful of popular ...

A large-scale fluid simulation tracking 100,000 particles as they settle through turbulent water has identified a previously unknown convective mixing effect at the leading edge of the particle cloud.

Fluid simulation can augment game mechanics and enhance the aesthetics and realism of video games. Video games demand high performance on a low budget but not great accuracy. By low budget, I mean ...

In A Nutshell Scientists discovered a previously unknown form of mixing that occurs when large groups of dense particles settle through fluid, contradicting predictions from a long-accepted theory. A ...

If you had any hope you’d actually be productive this Tuesday, you’ll want to avoid George Corney’s magical browser-based particle fluid simulator at all costs. If you thought hard drugs or Nutella ...

Thank you for completing the survey! This and the next article in this series describe how to improve fidelity while reducing computational cost by combining techniques described in earlier articles.
