PIC/FLIP Fluid Simulation - LEGO River (Full Simulation View)
This program is an implementation of a PIC/FLIP fluid simulation based on methods described in Robert Bridson's "Fluid Simulation for Computer Graphics" textbook.
Simulation visualization was rendered in Blender.
The LEGO brick surface in this animation was generated from this fluid simulation: • PIC/FLIP Fluid Simulation - Fluid River
