Computer scientists have introduced a novel representation of waves that improves computational efficiency by at least an order of magnitude. Based on principles of theoretical physics, their method ...

A wave breaks on the shore, sending up splashes of water and spray and creating eddies in the surrounding air. However, the digital simulation of this everyday natural occurrence is anything but ...

You may not give much thought to it when splashing around in the bath or going for a swim - but realistically simulating water is an incredibly difficult task for computers. A new simulation from ...

Hydraulic engineering specialists have unveiled the latest—and most realistic—generation tsunami simulator. The device, which is installed in HR Wallingford's Fast Flow Facility, is being part-funded ...

When designers select a method for simulating water and waves, they have to choose either fast computation or realistic effects; state-of-the-art methods are only able to optimize one or the other.
