“…A particle system (Reeves, 1983) is a system of a large number of elementary graphics particles having a specific appearance, sharing a predetermined formation pattern and following specific rules, which can be used to represent fuzzy objects of processes otherwise difficult or impossible to represent by a single model. Such objects and processes include highly chaotic systems, natural phenomena or processes caused by chemical reactions, such as fire (Nguyen, Fedkiw, & Jensen, 2002), smoke (Csuri, Hackathorn, Parent, Carlson, & Howard, 1979;Huang, Gong, & Liang, 2015), explosions (Yngve, Obrien, & Hodgins, 2000), water (Foster & Fedkiw, 2001), ocean wave (Hinsinger & Neyret, 2002), clouds (Gardner, 1985), fogs, snow (Tan & Fan, 2011), dust (Jim, Xiadong, & Wegman, 1999), electricity, stars and galaxies. In essence, particle systems are used to realistically represent fluids and gasses, or in general, objects and processes with highly dynamic behavior.…”

One of the most challenging problems in the simulation of real environments is to generate worlds that appear realistic and more attractive. It becomes increasingly challenging when the simulated environment focuses on minors (students), because the young generation has high demands on simulation systems due to their experience in computer gaming. Virtual museums are among the most important simulation environments, which present cultural and educational content for everyone. Their purpose is to enrich the users experience by allowing an intuitive interaction with the museum artifacts and to offer knowledge with the most pleasant ways. This paper focuses on the aspects of realistic simulations in the development of virtual 3D environments for Cultural Heritage applications. This study includes aspects regarding some of the most high-tech image effects, applicable artificial intelligence methods, powerful game engines, how real object can be reconstructed realistically and how all those features may be combined to produce realistic, pleasant, productive and educative environments.

We propose an octree‐based presentation of vortex particles to simulate smoke and gaseous phenomena in a physical way. Vortex particle method prevails over grid‐based method in terms of less numerical dissipation and more detail features, but it suffers from heavy computational overhead due to per‐particle Biot–Savart integration over the entire simulation space. To alleviate this problem, we employ an octree background grid to separate the vortex particles into individual groups. Particles in groups are aggregated as a single super vortex particle to reduce computational cost. The proposed method produces comparable visual result as previous methods with much less computational overhead. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In this paper, we propose an efficient approach for generating plausible smoke animation at interactive rates. Among a wide range of smoke animation approaches, our proposed approach simulates the behavior of gaseous phenomena such as turbulent smoke from a steam locomotive. Our method uses existing techniques for simulating smoke animation based on a particle system and extends them by introducing a simple yet efficient toroidal vortex to describe a more complex and turbulent behavior. The key idea is that vortex flows generated by torus-type smoke primitives are passively advected in a wind field to describe the turbulent flow of smoke.
