These individual time-steps are constrained for global convergence and stability. Fluid particles are then updated asynchronously. The approach naturally allocates computing resources to visually complex regions, e.g. regions with intense collisions, thereby reducing the overall computational time. The experiments show that our approach is more efficient than the standard method and the method with globally adaptive time steps, especially in highly dynamic scenes.I.3.7 [Computer Graphics]Three Dimensional Graphics and RealismAnimation10.2312/egsh.2015101041-44
