Research Abstract	This study aimed at development of fast and high-quality methods for visualizing results of particle-based liquid simulations. Specifically, the applicant developed two methods for extracting liquid surfaces based on an implicit-surface technique called metaballs. In 2009, the applicant developed and published a faster method that utilizes graphics hardware (GPU) than the method developed by the applicant in 2008. In 2010, the applicant also developed and published a method that reduces particle-derived small bumps on the surface, which are inevitable when using traditional techniques.
