Efficient Solver for Spacetime Control of Smoke

This efficient solver for dense optimal control of smoke animations utilizes a spacetime multigrid and achieves an order-of-magnitude acceleration.

Interpolations of Smoke and Liquid Simulations

This paper presents a novel method to interpolate smoke and liquid simulations to perform data-driven fluid simulations. Robust correspondences are calculated with a 5D optical-flow method.

Data-Driven Synthesis of Smoke Flows With CNN-Based Feature Descriptors

This work efficiently synthesizes detailed flow volumes with large repositories of pre-computed space-time flow data. It proposes a novel CNN-based approach for computing flow-feature descriptors, a deformation limiting patch advection, and an algorithm for efficient volumetric synthesis on coarse target simulations with reusable flow regions.

Fluxed Animated Boundary Method

A novel approach to guiding physically based particle simulations via boundary conditions that uses a simple yet powerful primitive called a fluxed animated boundary, consisting of a control shape and a material flow field. The system takes care of enforcing the corresponding boundary conditions and necessary particle reseeding.
