Outline of Final Research Achievements

The virtual worlds under the conventional animation techniques utilize the ideal models with no consideration of the detailed effects of the flow environments, which take account of the inertial, viscous, and turbulent features. The research aim of immersed rigid body dynamics is to simulate the motion of rigid body fully immersed or submerged inside real flows, and strongly coupled with the surrounding flows. The algorithm is built on data-driven simulation methods to simulate the rigid body dynamics with the flow effects. Our approach makes it feasible to achieve realistic simulation results, such as falling leaves, coin falling motion in water, and plying paper plane, in low computation cost.
