The Particle Level set method is a successful extension to Level set methods to improve the volume preservation in fluid simulations. This study will analyze how sparse volume data structures can be used to store both the signed distance function and the particles in order to improve access speed and memory efficiency.
This Particle Level set implementation will be evaluated against Digital Domains current Particle Level set implementation. Different degrees of quantization will be used to implement particle representations with varying accuracy.
These particles will be tested and both visual results and error measurments will be presented. The sparse volume data structures DB-Grid and Field3D will be evaluated in terms of speed and memory efficiency.
