A rendering algorithm of non-Newtonian fluid free surface on the GPU is presented in this paper. Firstly,physical model of non-Newtonian fluid is analyzed;the model is expressed by rational mathematic functions. Secondly,one good visualization method of non-Newtonian fluid dynamics simulation on the GPU is presented. Finally,the results of the test prove that the new algorithm can simulate non-Newtonian free surface well in short time.The new algorithm absorb the strong points of several methods,use the rational mathematic functions,realize non-Newtonian free surface on the GPU,the simulation effect is good and efficient.
