Abstract

In this paper, we propose a technique that can efficiently express the preservation and breakup of liquid sheets by eliminating over-preserved liquid sheets using the motion of water particles projected onto the screen. First, we project three-dimensional water particles onto a two-dimensional screen. When multiple particles are projected onto the same pixel, we select one of the front most particles as a screened particle by comparing their depth values. Based on the anisotropic kernel and density, the motion of the screened water particles is tracked to determine whether preservation and breakup should be performed. As a result, new water particles are added or existing ones are deleted, which makes it possible to express two characteristics of particle-based fluids: preservation and breakup of liquid sheets. The proposed technique is based on particle-based fluids, which can be used to remove the over-preserved liquid sheets and thus improve the quality of liquid sheets without surface noise.
