Abstract

The course provides an introduction to physics simulations and in particular discusses the fundamentals and numerical solution of an Eulerian fluid simulation. The students will implement the discussed techniques by extending the provided code framework.

Objective

Participants will learn about the fundamentals of Eulerian fluid simulations and how to implement a fluid solver numerically.

Content

The lecture includes theoretical and practical parts. The practical exercises include multiple smaller tasks and will be implemented in the provided C++ code framework.

Resources
