Our method relies on Lagrangian particles that carry packets of water wave energy; each packet carries information about an entire group of wave trains, as opposed to only a single wave crest. Our approach is unconditionally stable and can simulate high resolution geometric details. This approach also presents a straightforward interface for artistic control, because it is essentially a particle system with intuitive parameters like wavelength and amplitude. Our implementation parallelizes well and runs in real time for moderately challenging scenarios. https://research-explorer.ista.ac.at/download/470/7359/wavepackets_final.pdf application/pdfno ACM2017 eng 0730-0301 00040643210007110.1145/3072959.3073678 364 S.
