However, creating detailed simulations  takes a really long time, up to days even for a few seconds of video footage. Adaptive algorithms are a class of techniques that try to adapt at the problem that we have at hand. This adaptive method focuses computational resources to regions which are visible and have many fine details, and coarsens the simulation quality in regions that are not visible (or interesting). The resulting algorithm is much more efficient at simulating small scale turbulent details.<\/p>\n<p>__________________<\/p>\n<p>Recommended for you &#8211; Wavelet Turbulence:<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-ratio-16-9 whatever-embed-responsive\"><iframe title=\"Fluid Simulations with Blender and Wavelet Turbulence | Two Minute Papers #1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5xLSbj5SsSE?list=PLujxSBD-JXgnqDD1n-V30pKtp6Q886x7e\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The paper &#8220;Highly Adaptive Liquid Simulations on Tetrahedral Meshes&#8221; is available here:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/pub.ist.ac.at\/group_wojtan\/projects\/2013_Ando_HALSoTM\/index.html<br \/>\nDisclaimer: I was not part of this research project, I am merely providing commentary on this work.<br \/>\nMusic: &#8220;Awakening&#8221; by Silent Partner<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe if you would like to see more of these! &#8211; http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/subscription_center?add_user=keeroyz<\/p>\n<p>Splash screen\/thumbnail design: Fel\u00edcia Feh\u00e9r &#8211; http:\/\/felicia.hu<\/p>\n<p>K\u00e1roly Zsolnai-Feh\u00e9r&#8217;s links:<br \/>\nPatreon \u2192 https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/TwoMinutePapers<br \/>\nFacebook \u2192 https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TwoMinutePapers\/<br \/>\nWeb \u2192 https:\/\/cg.tuwien.ac.at\/~zsolnai\/<br \/>\nTwitter \u2192 https:\/\/twitter.com\/karoly_zsolnai<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are computer programs that can simulate the behavior of fluids, such as water, milk, honey and many others.
