A physically based approach to water modeling

摘要

Based on a set of shallow water equations, we address a water model for physically based simulation of water currents and waves. We present methods for determining the initial water height-field and solving volume conversation, so the simulating range of the model is extended. Conditioning the initial values of the model, we can easily simulate many kinds of water behaviors, such as tides, large body water, etc., and some examples have been rendered to illustrate the proposed methods.
