In the last decades cosmological N-body dark matter simulations have enabled ab initio studies of the formation of structure in the Universe. Gravity amplified small density fluctuations generated shortly after the Big Bang, leading to the formation of galaxies in the cosmic web. These calculations have led to a growing demand for methods to analyze time-dependent particle based simulations. Rendering...
Proposed and implemented a rapid star map simulation method based on GPU. The method used the vertex shaders of OpenGL shading language to perform real-time calculation of star positions. Combined with the display list technology, the results of calculation were used to perform the simulation of the initial star maps, then the initial star maps as texture were passed to the fragment shaders, completed...
BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions) plays a central role in realistic rendering. The non-linear specular reflection in a BRDF model is a time-consuming calculation, and therefore becomes the bottleneck for reaching real-time rate. To overcome this problem, a rendering technique based on texture mapping is proposed to accelerate the computation of BRDF. Its fundamental idea is to...
Many games and other interactive virtual environments are known for their focus in rendering natural phenomena, such as accurate visuals and physics, in the most believable manner. Several advances in the aforementioned fields took place during the last decade but, unfortunately, this effort has not been reflected in libraries for spatial audio. These libraries traditionally do not accurately simulate...
Realistic rain scenes animation is a complex task due to both the rendering and fluid dynamics simulation issues. The associated phenomena, like rain strokes rendering, splashing of raindrops and the simulation of the generated surface flow are known difficulties in this area. This paper describes a computational framework to incorporate these elements in a scene containing a digital terrain model...
In this paper, we implement a hybrid combustion model which incorporates the fire simulation and solid burning together. To achieve real-time performance, GPU is used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations with CUDA programming, also used to visualize the turbulent fire. Experiment results prove our method's efficiency.
Real-time haptic rendering of three-dimensional fluid flow will improve the interactivity and realism of applications ranging from video games to surgical simulators, but it remains a challenging undertaking due to its high computational cost. Humans are very familiar with the look and feel of real fluids, so successful interactive simulations need to obey the mathematical relationships of fluid dynamics...
A low-cost excavator simulator has been developed in this paper for training human operators and evaluating control strategies for heavy-duty hydraulic machines. In such a system, the operator controls a virtual excavator by means of a joystick while experiencing realistic operating feelings through force feedback, graphical displays, and sound effects in virtual operating environments. A GPU (graphics...
