Simulation of a pliable jellyfish in fluids

The purpose of this study is to understand the propulsion mechanism of a jellyfish during its swimming. We observed the motion of a jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) by a motion-capture camera, and measured the vector field of flow around a jellyfish by using ...

We present a framework for the interactive simulation of fluids coupled with rigid bodies that targets heterogeneous distributed computing architectures. Specifically, our proposed approach is well-suited for computer graphics applications that combine ...

We present an algorithm for creating realistic animations of characters that are swimming through fluids. Our approach combines dynamic simulation with data-driven kinematic motions (motion capture data) to produce realistic animation in a fluid. The ...
