3D visual computing data are often spatially sparse. To exploit such sparsity, people have
developed hierarchical sparse data structures, such as multi-level sparse voxel grids …

Voxel-based data structures, algorithms, frameworks, and interfaces have been used in
computer graphics and many other applications for decades. There is a general necessity to …

We have developed a novel hierarchical data structure for the efficient representation of
sparse, time-varying volumetric data discretized on a 3D grid. Our “VDB”, so named because …

A practical introduction, the second edition of Fluid Simulation for Computer Graphics shows
you how to animate fully three-dimensional incompressible flow. It covers all the aspects of …

The Material Point Method (MPM) has been shown to facilitate effective simulations of
physically complex and topologically challenging materials, with a wealth of emerging …

A balanced force refined level set grid method for two-phase flows on structured and
unstructured flow solver grids is presented. To accurately track the phase interface location …

The particle level set method has proven successful for the simulation of two separate
regions (such as water and air, or fuel and products). In this paper, we propose a novel …

We introduce a new method for fluid simulation on high-resolution adaptive grids which
rivals the throughput and parallelism potential of methods based on uniform grids. Our …

Electromigration failure is a major reliability concern for integrated circuits. The continuous
shrinking of metal line dimensions together with the interconnect structure arranged in many …

We present a new method for the efficient simulation of large bodies of water, especially
effective when three-dimensional surface effects are important. Similar to a traditional two …
