How Can We Simulate Water Droplets?
Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Stanford University and Dartmouth College presented a method for simulating detailed water droplets.
The approach combined sheet, filament and volume particles across different parts of a droplet to construct surfaces, spray and splashes while improving the representation of surface-tension effects.
Research examples should be tested against production-scale shot counts, memory budgets and meshing requirements.
