The simulation of soap bubbles and their movements is an important part in the simulation for the real environment andthe entertainment, such as movies and games. But the complexity of the optical interference affects the speed and the effect of thesimulation in a specific application environment. For the geometric structure, an improved solution based on the cosine rule andthe similar triangles is proposed to compute the radius and the location of the sphere where the mutual wall belongs to. For the colorrendering of a soap bubble, an accurate refraction is imported to draw the color of the surface. The soap bubbles are representedby triangular meshes, and their dynamics are simulated by solving the motion equation of each particle on triangular meshes. Theexperimental results show the improvement of the simulation efficiency and the visualization effects for the soap bubbles.
