text: The Fluid Implicit Particle method (FLIP) for liquid simulations uses particles
to reduce numerical dissipation and provide important visual cues for events like
complex splashes and small-scale features near the liquid surface. Unfortunately,
FLIP simulations can be computationally expensive, because they require a dense
sampling of particles to fill the entire liquid volume. Furthermore, the vast
majority of these FLIP particles contribute nothing to the fluid's visual appearance,
especially for larger volumes of liquid. We present a method that only uses FLIP
particles within a narrow band of the liquid surface, while efficiently representing
the remaining inner volume on a regular grid. We show that a naïve realization
of this idea introduces unstable and uncontrollable energy fluctuations, and we
propose a novel coupling scheme between FLIP particles and regular grid which
overcomes this problem. Our method drastically reduces the particle count and
simulation times while yielding results that are nearly indistinguishable from
regular FLIP simulations. Our approach is easy to integrate into any existing
FLIP implementation.
