Abstract
The use of power diagrams in accordance with embodiments of the invention enable particle based fluid simulation. One embodiment includes a processor, a memory containing a model of a fluid, where the fluid is broken into a set of cells each defining a volume with boundaries that are relative to a distance of a set of points, where the process is configured by the power particle application to: calculate a plurality of forces acting on the set of cells, move the set of cells within the model of the fluid based upon the plurality of forces, and update the model of the fluid with a new set of cells.
