Abstract:
A system includes a computing device that includes a memory configured to store instructions. The computing device also includes a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method that includes defining a simulated fluid object that includes a first portion and a second portion being represented by a signed distance function. The method also includes applying at least one constraint to the first portion of the simulated fluid object to match a velocity of a target. The method also includes applying a collection of calculated forces to the second portion of the simulated fluid object. Also, the method includes rendering the first portion applied with the at least one constraint and the second portion applied with the collection of calculated forces to present the simulated fluid object.
