Animering av eksplosjoner i sanntid

Explosions play an important role in many games. Yet, as explosions are sudden and highly turbulent, animating visually pleasing and dynamic realtime explosions is a very complex task. We present a method for animating explosions completely on the graphics processing unit (GPU). The simulation allows for arbitrary internal boundaries and is governed by a combustion process, a Stable Fluids solver, which includes thermal expansion, and turbulence modeling. The simulation results are visualized by two particle systems comprised of textured and animated particles. The results are physically based, non-repeating, and dynamic explosions that performs in real-time with high visual quality.
