Abstract

Simulating water turbulence is challenging as it requires multi-scale vortical motions to be resolved with an emphasis on reproducing small-scale details. This paper presents a novel particle-based method to simulate water turbulence. To reduce numerical dissipations, which consume small-scale details, we have incorporated the Hermite-interpolation scheme into a particle-advection process. For capturing large- and small-scale vortical motions eciently, we propose instant-kernels and a small-scale vorticity (SSV) model, respectively. The results of simulations with various examples demonstrate the eciency and the physical accuracy of our method in reproducing turbulence e ects in particle fluids.
