For example, a numerical solver for the Navier-Stokes equations is difficult to implement and computationally expensive to run; furthermore, it is not easy for an artist to control the resultant simulations. These issues can be bypassed at the cost of physical accuracy by procedurally generating fluid behaviour. In this talk, I will present a procedural fluid flow method based on Perlin noise. This method is easy to implement, fast to evaluate, and (unlike previous procedural approaches) able to properly handle solid boundary conditions.
