SPH fluids for viscous jet buckling

We present a novel meshfree technique for animating\ud free surface viscous liquids with jet buckling effects, such as\ud coiling and folding. Our technique is based on Smoothed Particle\ud Hydrodynamics (SPH) fluids and allows more realistic and\ud complex viscous behaviors than the preceding SPH frameworks\ud in computer animation literature. The viscous liquid is modeled\ud by a non-Newtonian fluid flow and the variable viscosity under\ud shear stress is achieved using a viscosity model known as Cross\ud model. The proposed technique is efficient and stable, and our\ud framework can animate scenarios with high resolution of SPH\ud particles in which the simulation speed is significantly accelerated\ud by using Computer Unified Device Architecture (CUDA)\ud computing platform. This work also includes several examples\ud that demonstrate the ability of our technique.FAPESP - processos nos. 2013/19760-5 e 2014/11981-5FAPES - processos no. 53600100/11CNP

Em engenharia, modelos podem ser entendidos como representações das características principais de um objeto, criadas com o propósito ele permitir a visualização e compreensão da estrutura e do comportamento do objeto, antes de sua construção. A estrutura de um objeto de engenharia pode ser definida por um modelo geométrico que descreve, exata ou aproximadamente, suas formas e dimensões materiais. O comportamento pode ser descrito por um conjunto de equações diferenciais de um modelo matemático que nos permite prever, sob certas condições, os efeitos de ações externas sobre o objeto. A solução do modelo matemático pode ser obtida pela análise computacional numérica de um modelo mecânico do objeto, através do método dos elementos finitos e/ou método dos elementos de contorno. Nesse trabalho, apresentamos um Sistema de Modelagem Estrutural Orientado a Objetos denominado OSW - Object Structural Workbench, destinado ao desenvolvimento de programas de análise e visualização de modelos em engenharia de estruturas. Na primeira parte do texto, introduzimos os fundamentos utilizados no desenvolvimento do sistema. Na segunda parte, descrevemos como empregar as bibliotecas de classes de OSW na construção de um programa de modelagem e apresentamos a alguns resultados obtidos com o sistema.In engineering, models may be thought as representations for the main characteristics of an object. Such representations enable us to visualize and understand the object structure and behaviour before constructing the object itself. The engineering ohject structure can be defined by a qeometric model which faith ful or approximately describes the object shape and size. The object behaviour can be ruled by a differential equations set from a mathematical model, which enables us to predict the effects of external forces acting on the object. The solution for the mathematical model can be obtained by applying the method of finite elements or method of boundary elements to an object mechanical model.

The system has been designed to aid the development of computer programs for analysis and visualization of structural models.

Similarity preserving snippet-based visualization of web search results

Internet users are very familiar with the results of a search query displayed as a ranked list of snippets. Each textual snippet\ud shows a content summary of the referred document (or webpage) and a link to it. This display has many advantages, for example, it\ud affords easy navigation and is straightforward to interpret. Nonetheless, any user of search engines could possibly report some\ud experience of disappointment with this metaphor. Indeed, it has limitations in particular situations, as it fails to provide an overview of\ud the document collection retrieved. Moreover, depending on the nature of the query—for example, it may be too general, or ambiguous,\ud or ill expressed—the desired information may be poorly ranked, or results may contemplate varied topics. Several search tasks would\ud be easier if users were shown an overview of the returned documents, organized so as to reflect how related they are, content wise.\ud We propose a visualization technique to display the results of web queries aimed at overcoming such limitations. It combines the\ud neighborhood preservation capability of multidimensional projections with the familiar snippet-based representation by employing a\ud multidimensional projection to derive two-dimensional layouts of the query search results that preserve text similarity relations, or\ud neighborhoods. Similarity is computed by applying the cosine similarity over a “bag-of-words” vector representation of collection built\ud from the snippets. If the snippets are displayed directly according to the derived layout, they will overlap considerably, producing a poor\ud visualization. We overcome this problem by defining an energy functional that considers both the overlapping among snippets and the\ud preservation of the neighborhood structure as given in the projected layout. Minimizing this energy functional provides a neighborhood\ud preserving two-dimensional arrangement of the textual snippets with minimum overlap. The resulting visualization conveys both a\ud global view of the query results and visual groupings that reflect related results, as illustrated in several examples shown.FAPESPCNPqCAPE
