Fluid Simulation

This diploma thesis addresses the problem of liquid and gas simulation, it particularly deals with computer simulation of flow of viscous newtonian liquids with a free surface. A main goal of this work is to create an efficient simulation model, utilizing the benefits of current GPU parallel architecture for general-purpose computing. I chose to implement Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, a lagrangian particle-based method. A significant portion of this thesis consists of speed analysis of the implemented algorithm, comparison with other authors' achievements in the field and a demonstration of benefits brought by GPU involvement in the computation. As an output of the thesis I present an interactive computer program that allows for real-time simulation (and visualization) of water-like fluids
