Simulation of fluid flow based on real-time computation on a workstation using different assumptions to approximate the overall behavior of the fluid.
Introduction
Digital simulation has been a well-explored research topic over the last decade. In particular, the simulation of natural phenomena like fluid movement has attracted a lot of attention. There are mostly two different kinds of fluid simulation. One is for realistic movement of fluids in a high-performance computing area, and the other one is a real-time fluid simulation with desktop workstations. This literature review should give an overview on existing work in the field of real-time fluid simulation and the differences between different fluid representations. In the last decades, we can observe three different classes for real-time fluid simulations. The first one is dealing with fluid in a height-field environment that is very simple – but – yet efficient approach....
