      Shah, Chinmayee; Hyde, David; Qu, Hang; Levis, Philip (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      This paper describes a general algorithm and a system for load balancing sparse fluid simulations. Automatically distributing sparse fluid simulations efficiently is challenging because the computational load varies across ...
    • An Efficient Solver for Two-way Coupling Rigid Bodies with Incompressible Flow 

      Aanjaneya, Mridul (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      We present an efficient solver for monolithic two-way coupled simulation of rigid bodies with incompressible fluids that is robust to poor conditioning of the coupled system in the presence of large density ratios between ...
    • Fast Corotated FEM using Operator Splitting
