Pixar's films rely heavily on physically simulated effects such as the motion of hairs, cloth, and water, to cite a few. Whereas physical accuracy is of paramount importance in engineering […]
Many complex nonequilibrium systems, including turbulent flows, are characterized by chaotic dynamics, a large number of degrees of freedom, and hierarchical, multiscale structure in space and time. In two vignettes, […]
Abstract: Fluids and solids tend to be addressed using distinct computational perspectives. Solid deformation is most commonly simulated with Lagrangian finite-element methods, whereas fluid flow is amenable to Eulerian-frame approaches […]
