Simulation of atmospheric phenomena
This paper presents a physically based simulation of atmospheric phenomena. It takes into account the physics of non-homogeneous media in which the index of refraction varies continuously, creating curved light paths. As opposed to previous research on this area, we solve the physically based differential equation that describes the trajectory of light. We develop an accurate expression of the ...
متن کاملEfficient Rendering of Atmospheric Phenomena
Rendering o f atmospheric bodies involves modeling the complex interaction o f light throughout the highly scat tering medium o f water and air particles. Scattering by these particles creates many well-known atmospheric optical phenomena including rainbows, halos, the corona, and the glory. Unfortunately, most radiative transport approximations in computer graphics are ill-suited to render co...
متن کاملCritical Phenomena in Percolation Theory
In this paper, the critical behavior of the percolation models is reviewed, with emphasis on the scaling laws present and its relationship with other simple models like the Ising magnet. A liitle bit of the history and some examples of its application are given to illustrate the range of phenomena that can be described with such models.
متن کاملCritical Phenomena in Complex Networks
Networks arise in wide variety of contexts across disciplines, from social networks in sociology and transport networks in engineering, to networks for disease spreading in epidemiology and metabolic networks in biology. In this essay we provide an introduction to the systematic study of networks. We discuss a few important network models, focusing particularly on features that are similar to t...
متن کاملCritical Phenomena in Gravitational Collapse
It was well known that strong enough initial configurations of matter field would result in gravitational collapse to black holes, whereas weak enough initial data become dispersed to infinity. However, what happens in the intermediate region was not clear until the discovery of the critical phenomena in gravitational collapse by Choptuik in 1993 [1]. He examined numerically the spacetime evolu...
