Video games appeal to our desire to explore and interact with our environment, and adding real-world phenomena-such as fluid motion-allows game developers to create immersive and fun virtual worlds.

CFD software is easier to use, faster, and more effective. It's probably not news that computational-fluid-dynamics (CFD) software predicts fluid flow within a defined system, along with the effects ...

fluid simulation that simulates the movement of liquids and gases on a computer. While it can realistically represent liquids, it has the disadvantage of requiring a lot of calculations and memory.

Ever since NVIDIA acquired AGEIA and assimilated their PhysX IP, there has been an outcry for more triple-A game titles that fully utilize the technology. Currently there are only a handful of popular ...

With the magnificent real images of water pouring from the sky and the after-fire fumes from a car, there is no escaping from the laws of physics in movies either! Fluid simulation in the ’50s and ...

Thank you for completing the survey! We want games to be fun and look pretty and plausible. Fluid simulation can augment game mechanics and enhance the aesthetics and realism of video games. Video ...

Thank you for completing the survey! This and the next article in this series describe how to improve fidelity while reducing computational cost by combining techniques described in earlier articles.
