A large-scale fluid simulation tracking 100,000 particles as they settle through turbulent water has identified a previously unknown convective mixing effect at the leading edge of the particle cloud.

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.

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 ...

In A Nutshell Scientists discovered a previously unknown form of mixing that occurs when large groups of dense particles settle through fluid, contradicting predictions from a long-accepted theory. A ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have unveiled the behavior of single microscopic particles when they unite. The findings reveal an enigmatic, perfectly synchronized dance. The research team ...

You may not give much thought to it when splashing around in the bath or going for a swim - but realistically simulating water is an incredibly difficult task for computers. A new simulation from ...

When a viscous fluid, such as a jar of honey, is stirred and then unstirred, the contents return to their starting points. However, according to research by a team of physicists headed by New York ...

Fluid simulation can augment game mechanics and enhance the aesthetics and realism of video games. Video games demand high performance on a low budget but not great accuracy. By low budget, I mean ...
