Shiguang Liu, Zhangye Wang, Zheng Gong, Lei Huang, and Qunsheng Peng


ABSTRACT

simulating a tornado scene Based on Reynold-average Navier-Stokes equa-

tions. The dust particle flow is modeled by non-viscos-

ity Navier–Stokes equations Multi-Fluid Solver is designed and implemented

on GPU. Efficient method is proposed to simulate the tor-

nado’s interaction with surrounding large ob-jects.


INTRODUCTION

RATFM is proposed to simulate the chaos ap-pearance of tornados more realistically than previous methods

A novel two-fluid system solver is designed to achieve real time simulation

To our knowledge, it is the first attempt to simulate damage from a tornado on sur-rounding objects

Our system is easy to implement. By in-putting different initial parameters, different tornado scenes can be produced automati-cally

MULTI-FLUID SOLVER ON GPU

Our model describes a multiple fluid system Air flow particle flows.

We solve the multiple Navier-Stokes equa-tions in parallel in one rendering pass by combining multiple field data texture into one texture. It reduces the calculating time

Flat 3D texture technique It’s easy to read and store velocity data

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Successfully generated dynamic tornado scenes

Calculating the Poisson equation use the Jacobi iterative method 25 frames per second More iterations, lower frame rate


CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORKS
