using boundary handling method
Hi I am using Bender et al boundary handling method. There are some fluid particles (blue particles) that are crossing between ice floes. I input ice floes with object files. But it seems that fluid particles cannot see the ice floes properly and pass through the ice floes. But this problem will not happen when I use Acinci et al 2012.
What is the problem?
Regards
Are the meshes of the ice floes volumetric meshes and are they closed? Do you have one OBJ per ice floe? Did you use an adequate resolution?
The object file is one file that has information of the ice floes. We give them the information of the vertices and normal vectors t each surface.
Hm, typically we have one mesh per OBJ file since this is seen as single object. Does the simulator complain about a mesh which is not closed? Even if this is not the case, the problem could be that you need a quite high resolution of the volume grid to capture all these quite thin objects correctly. I would recommend to test it with a mesh for a single ice floe.
There is no complaint about the closing of the mesh. Is there any example about mesh files? I can see the OBJ files but I cannot see anything about the mesh in samples included with splishsplash.
When I increase the resolution, it is going to be better and particles recognize the solid body better but there is a warning that says that 'mesh not closed'
Yes, because the volume map computation expects one closed mesh per object but you have multiple meshes in one file,
There is a problem when I am trying to run the program. It seems that there is an obstacle in front of fluid particles and eventually some fluid particles are going to be collapsed. I sent the video to your email because it was not possible to send it here.
