# Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

### Advanced fluid dynamics simulation utilizing smoothed particle hydrodynamics for realistic liquid behavior.

**Simulating organic fluid dynamics directly on the GPU defines the visual power of SCORE XR.** By employing a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) solver mapped onto a staggered mathematical grid, Daniel Kuhnlein models liquid viscosity, pressure fields, and surface tension in real time. This allows digital water, mud, or chemical liquids to flow, splash, and react with physical objects in WebXR environments.

**Staggered Fluid Grid**

Distributes calculations across a mathematical grid, tracking boundary velocities at edge points and calculating fluid pressure at grid cell centers for highly stable solver updates.

**Jacobi Iteration Solver**

Evaluates pressure equations iteratively using a GPU-bound Jacobi solver, calculating divergence-free velocity fields that prevent compression artifacts in liquids.

**Dynamic Selection & Interaction Flow**

Calculates dynamic velocity vectors from pointer events, multi-touch screens, physical VR controllers, or virtual devices. Sharing a unified selection pipeline, STD.DEV tracks up to 1024 unique input sources, compiling coordinates and trigger forces into a GPU data texture. Shaders sample this texture to project external force fields into the staggered fluid grid, generating realistic ripples and splashes around interactive inputs.

**From tranquil water ripples to complex fluid splashing,** Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics brings physically correct behavior. STD.DEV optimizes these grid data retrieval shaders to ensure smooth liquid flows at native frame rates in modern web browsers.
