Interactive fluid simulation using augmented reality interface

Abstract

This paper presents an interactive fluid simulation system using augmented reality interface. The presented system uses Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics to simulate the behavior of liquid and adopts a particle-particle interaction approach to calculate the surface tension that becomes important in a small-scale liquid. Fluid-solid interaction can be calculated effectively by representing a solid as a distance function. Therefore, the shape of the solid can be represented precisely without increasing the number of the particles. Moreover, The system can directly operate the solid by augmented reality interface. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
