first paper, Changbo Wang, Qiang Zhang, and Fanlong Kong, from East China Normal University in Shanghai, China, present a highly effective method of modeling and animating debris flows with adaptive grid.The debris flow is modeled as Bingham plastic fluid with view-dependent adaptive grid to model the flow volume, and the boundless grids can cover the large scale region of debris flow.Then the mixed grids are built for confluent flows, and two-way coupling interaction between flows and environment is considered.After extracting the debris flow surface, adaptive surface tension combining wave particles equation is used to enhance the details, and sprays are generated by particles considering the interaction between two fluid volumes.
