Rendering of Water Drops in Real-Time

چکیده
In this paper we present a method for simulating physical behaviour and rendering of water drops in real-time. Our algorithm is based on processing water information stored into a texture resembling a height map. Thus calculation on the Graphics Processing Unit is possible. Texels on the height map retrieve how much of their current water amount remains and how much water is provided from texels above. The height map is smoothed with a blur filter before a normal map is created to perform lighting with a Fresnel-model.

In this paper, Intelligent water drop algorithm (IWD) is used to analyze single overhead line connected to grid-grounded arrester. In this approach, at first Norton’s equivalent circuit of the overhead line over lossy soil is computed by method of moments (MoM) and then for the problem under consideration, a nonlinear equivalent circuit in the frequency domain is proposed. Finally applying inte...
متن کاملReal-time Rendering of Translucent Volumetric Surfaces
We present a real-time technique for rendering translucent features on opaque volumetric surfaces. It relies on modern reprogrammable graphics hardware to compute the complicated visual phenomena seen in translucent materials. The proposed technique is based on relief mapping techniques, and is therefore capable of interacting with the underlying opaque surface accurately. A hard self-shadowing...
متن کاملSessile and Pendant Micro-Liter Drops Evaporate at Different Rates: An Experimental Approach
Evaporation of micro-liter drops from solid surfaces at room condition is mainly governed by diffusion. Therefore, there should be no difference between evaporation rate of sessile and pendant drops. However, some studies indicate a difference and explain the difference using buoyancy. The objective here is to reconcile the inconsistency in the literature. For that, first, by comparing two iden...
