A soap film simulation method

What is it about?

We proposed a novel physically-based vortex fluid model for films which can accurately simulate cascading vortical structures on deforming thin films. Our method is particular adept at depicting complex interactions between in-plane vortices and out-of-plane physical phenomena, such as gravity, surfactant dynamics, and solid boundary, leading to highly realistic simulations of complex thin-film dynamics, achieving an unprecedented level of vortical details and physical realism.

Why is it important?

We proposed a novel representation of film’s tangential velocity based on circulation and dilatation so that we derive the first physically-based vortex fluid model for generating and evolving cascading vortical structures on deforming thin films.
