Abstract

A fluid simulation suitable for use in real-time virtual environments running at interactive frame rates has the potential to greatly improve the quality of the virtual environments it is used in. To this end we present a method suitable for use in real-time grid-based fluid simulation that considerably reduces the amount of data being processed at each simulation step by removing unused cells from the simulation grid.

Keywords
