Abstract

This article is about computer based simulations applied to physical systems that consists both of fluids and rigid bodies. It explains how to build such simulations in a systematic manner applying object oriented programming techniques. This work is based on the Physolator simulation framework. Physolator supports a modular design style. This article shows, how the Physolator framework can be used to build mixed fluid and rigid body simulations in a systematic manner by first building a set of reusable components and then building different kinds of physical systems by assembling these components.
