Final Project for COMP599 Fundamentals of Computer Animation at McGill University.

This project is a particle-based fluid simulation, using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics. This project is an implementation based on previous work done in this field of SPH. The algorithm follows closely from: B. Ertekin. 2015. Fluid Simulation using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics [Unpublished master’s thesis]. (2015), 1–57. and M. Muller, D. Charypar, and M. Gross. 2003. Particle-based fluid simulation for 226 interactive applications. Proceedings of the 2003 ACM SIGGRAPH/Eurographics Symposium on Computer Animation (2003), 154–159.

This project can be run as a Java project directly. The control panel will have configuration options.

• animate: toggles running the simulation
• Dimensions: sets the dimension of the system grid (NxN)
• stiffness: controls the stiffness of the liquid
• drop object: drops an optional object into the liquid
• viscosity coefficient for main liquid: main viscosity coefficient
• viscositiy coefficient for secondary liquid: if you want two liquids, this sets the viscosity coefficient of the second one
• particle factory: toggles an autogeneration of particles from the top left corner
• delay: time delay between generating a new particle for the particle factory
• tension coefficient: surface tension coefficient
• tension threshold: threshold for applying surface tension
• mass for main/secondary liquid: sets the masses
• two liquid types: toggles whether the system has one or two types of liquid
