The dynamic motion of fluids is essential in generating aesthetically appealing effects like the oriental ink painting and fluid art. Due to the prohibitively high cost required in volumetric fluid simulations, implementing an interactive volumetric painting system in immersive virtual environments (IVEs) is challenging. We propose a framework to generate immersive fluid dynamic environments by solving the Navier-Stokes equation on the viewing sphere. With this approach, we largely reduce the complexity without losing the effective resolution. We demonstrate our method on a real-time 360-degree painting system and verify the usability of our interface prototype with examples.
