Movie Animation: A Continuum Approach for Frictional Contact

摘要

Scientific computing and numerical methods have many new and exciting applications in modern movie visual effects. Studios such as Walt Disney Animation Studios, Industrial Light & Magic, and Pixar increasingly require expertise in the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). Such PDEs describe the dynamics of materials encountered in the world of the movie: water, dirt, sand, mud, air, clothing, hair, and skin.
