Snow Business: Scientific Computing in the Movies and Beyond (Joseph Teran, UCLA)
Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesNew applications of scientific computing for solid and fluid mechanics problems include simulation of virtual materials in movie visual effects and virtual surgery. Both disciplines demand physically realistic dynamics for materials like water, smoke, fire, and soft tissues. New algorithms are required for each area. Teran will speak about the simulation techniques required in these fields and […]
