A high-performance implementation of Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulator in Taichi. (working in progress)

• Dragon Bath (~420 K particles, ~280 FPS on RTX 3090 GPU, with timestep 4e-4)

• Armadillo Bath (~1.74 M particles, ~80 FPS on RTX 3090 GPU, with timestep 4e-4)

Currently, the following features have been implemented:

• Cross-platform: Windows, Linux
• Support massively parallel GPU computing
• Weakly Compressible SPH (WCSPH)[1]
• One-way/two-way fluid-solid coupling[2]
• Shape-matching based rigid-body simulator[3]
• Neighborhood search accelerated by GPU parallel prefix sum + counting sort

The GPU parallel prefix sum is only supported by cuda/vulkan backend currently.

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

To reproduce the demos show above:

python run_simulation.py --scene_file ./data/scenes/dragon_bath.json

python run_simulation.py --scene_file ./data/scenes/armadillo_bath_dynamic.json

Implementation is largely inspired by SPlisHSPlasH.
