Interactive Fluid Simulation and its remote steering framework with Visual and Haptic Feedback

摘要

In this paper, we showcase an interactive fluid simulator as an example of a next generation human in the loop scientific simulation environment. The fluid simulator proposed here is accelerated by the GPU in order to realize the interactivity of the simulation. It has a capability of steering the simulation by interactively changing the boundary conditions, or the simulation parameters, through the haptic device which is also used as a force display device to visualize the simulation results as force. Furthermore, in order to utilize the power of the simulation server which is located far away from the operator, the remote steering framework for this interactive fluid simulator is also discussed. The results of the preliminary implementation are also discussed briefly.
