Recent advances in water wave animation, Chris Wojtan

Description

This talk will give an overview of our group's recent progress in water wave animation. Existing methods for solving wave equations (like finite elements, finite differences, and spectral/Fourier methods) tend to fall short of the level of detail required for visual effects, or they fail to convincingly animate interactions with boundaries (like a wave reflecting off a rock). Over the past few years, our group has experimented with new ways to animate water waves, including boundary integrals, wave packets and wavelets, and analytic solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations, and even simple geometric heuristics. During this talk, I will explain the problem and give an overview of our various methods and results. The talk describes research collaborations with the following co-authors: Stefan Jeschke, Camille Schreck, Christian Hafner, Tomas Skrivan, Ken Museth, Andreas Soderstrom, Christoph Sprenger, John Johansson, Matthias Mueller-Fischer, Nuttapong Chentanez, Miles Macklin
