PIC/FLIP Fluid Simulation - Splash with Foam (Particle Only Render)
This animation was simulated in a fluid simulation program that I am writing. The program outputs a triangle mesh for each simulated frame which is then imported into Blender and rendered using Cycles.
Simulation visualization was rendered in Blender.
Simulation Details:
Frames 424(30fps)
Simulation time 33.6 hours
Render time 8 hours (75 samples)
Total time 41.6 hours
Simulation resolution 384 x 200 x 160
Peak # of fluid particles 30 Million
Peak # of diffuse particles 3.9 Million
Peak RAM usage 3.5 GB
Mesh bake file size 4.95 GB
Particle bake file size 6 GB
Total bake file size 10.95 GB
Computer specs: ultrabook style laptop with Intel Core i5-4200U @ 1.60GHz processor, integrated Intel HD4400 graphics chip, and 8GB RAM.
