4. Technical Presentation

Christopher Batty	Title : Advection-Reflection schemes for Fluid Flow Abstract: A classic problem with typical fluid simulators in graphics (and in computational fluid dynamics more broadly) is that the fluid equations are split into two basic steps for efficiency: advection ("moving the velocities") and projection ("enforcing incompressibility"). Doing so offers greater speed, but it comes at the cost of artificial energy loss. I'll discuss a recently proposed technique to reduce these effects, which uses reflection instead of projection.
