Lagrangian Vortex Sheets for Animating Fluids
A method for efficient simulation od highly detailed dense smoke plumes. By solving vortex-sheet dynamics and coupling them to a coarse simulation, the method directly evaluatesturbulent detail on the visible interface surface.

Discrete Viscous Sheets
This paper presents a reduced-dimensional Lagrangian model for animating thin sheets of viscous incompressible liquids, such as syrup or honey, incorporating exact volume preservation, surface tension effects, and local remeshing. The approach is validated against analytical solutions, and reproduces classic viscous sheet behaviors, including stretching, buckling, sagging, and wrinkling.

Topology-Adaptive Interface Tracking Using the Deformable Simplicial Complex
Presenting the deformable simplicial complex method: a novel, Lagrangian method for deformable interface tracking in 2D and 3D. The interface is represented as a piecewise linear curve or surface embedded in a kinetic triangulation or tetrahedralization of the space, yielding robust topological adaptivity, little numerical diffusion, and other useful properties.

Fluid Simulation Using Laplacian Eigenfunctions
In modeling fluid motion, selecting a basis of Laplacian eigenfunctions provides novel and interesting properties leading to visually convincing simulations with far fewer degrees of freedom than existing approaches.
