【 摘 要 】

Background: The interaction of gas and liquid can produce many interesting phenomena, such as bubbles rising from the bottom of the liquid. The simulation of two-phase fluids is a challenging topic in computer graphics. To animate the interaction of a gas and liquid, MultiFLIP samples the two types of particles, and a Euler grid is used to track the interface of the liquid and gas. However, MultiFLIP uses the fluid implicit particle (FLIP) method to interpolate the velocities of particles into the Euler grid, which suffer from additional noise and instability. Methods: To solve the problem caused by fluid implicit particles (FLIP), we present a novel velocity transport technique for two individual particles based on the affine particle-in-cell (APIC) method. First, we design a weighed coupling method for interpolating the velocities of liquid and gas particles to the Euler grid such that we can apply the APIC method to the simulation of a two-phase fluid. Second, we introduce a narrowband method to our system because MultiFLIP is a time-consuming approach owing to the large number of particles. Results: Experiments show that our method is well integrated with the APIC method and provides a visually credible two-phase fluid animation. Conclusions: The proposed method can successfully handle the simulation of a twophase fluid.
