We present an interactive method for deformation-based fluid control. Our method aims at balancing the direct deformations of fluid fields and the preservation of physical characteristics. We train convolutional neural networks with physics-inspired loss functions together with a differentiable fluid simulator, and provide an efficient workflow for flow manipulations at test time. We demonstrate diverse test cases to analyze our carefully designed objectives and show that they lead to physical and eventually visually appealing modifications on edited fluid data.CCS Concepts: Computing methodologies -> Physical Simulation; Neural networksComputing methodologiesPhysical SimulationNeural networks10.1111/cgf.14751161-17313 pages
