Fluid Simulation for Computer Graphics

Animating fluids like water, smoke, and fire using physics-based simulation is important in visual effects, in particular in movies and in video games. This book provides a practical introduction to fluid simulation for graphics. It focuses on animating fully three-dimensional incompressible flow.

Animating fluids like water, smoke, and fire using physics-based simulation is increasingly important in visual effects, in particular in movies, like The Day After Tomorrow, and in computer games. This book provides a practical introduction to fluid simulation for graphics. The focus is on animating fully three-dimensional incompressible flow, from understanding the math and the algorithms to the actual implementation.
