A Mathematical Framework for Volume Modeling and Simulation
Brandon Pelfrey · TigerPrints (Clemson University) · 2012
Rendering, modeling, and simulating processes in spatially-varying media are complex tasks which typically require tedious mathematical derivations and long development and programming. In this thesis, a framework is presented which allows for fast and casual exploration of ideas for volume-based simulation and modeling. Several applications of the framework are shown, including the simulation of fluid dynamics for computer graphics applications. A procedure for automatically generating OpenCL code from these is given, along with rudimentary examples.
