  text: We propose a novel surface-only technique for simulating incompressible, inviscid
    and uniform-density liquids with surface tension in three dimensions. The liquid
    surface is captured by a triangle mesh on which a Lagrangian velocity field is
    stored. Because advection of the velocity field may violate the incompressibility
    condition, we devise an orthogonal projection technique to remove the divergence
    while requiring the evaluation of only two boundary integrals. The forces of surface
    tension, gravity, and solid contact are all treated by a boundary element solve,
    allowing us to perform detailed simulations of a wide range of liquid phenomena,
    including waterbells, droplet and jet collisions, fluid chains, and crown splashes.
