  2. Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothed-particle...

    Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is a computational method used for simulating the mechanics of continuum media, such as solid mechanics and fluid flows. It was developed by Gingold and Monaghan [ 2 ] and Lucy [ 3 ] in 1977, initially for astrophysical problems.

  3. List of common shading algorithms - Wikipedia

    Subsurface scattering is an indirect form of reflection where some of the light is transmitted into a semi-transparent material, scattered under the surface and bounced back out again.

  4. Shader - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shader

    This shader works by replacing all light areas of the image with white, and all dark areas with a brightly colored texture. In computer graphics, a shader is a computer program that calculates the appropriate levels of light, darkness, and color during the rendering of a 3D scene—a process known as shading.

    Continuum is a Canadian science fiction television series created by Simon Barry.It was first shown on the Showcase channel on May 27, 2012. It premiered in the U.S on the Syfy channel on January 14, 2013.

  6. Continuum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_mechanics

    Continuum mechanics is a branch of mechanics that deals with the deformation of and transmission of forces through materials modeled as a continuous medium (also called a continuum) rather than as discrete particles. Continuum mechanics deals with deformable bodies, as opposed to rigid bodies. A continuum model assumes that the substance of the ...

  7. Physically based rendering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physically_based_rendering

    Sophisticated applications allow savvy users to write custom shaders in a shading language such as HLSL or GLSL, though increasingly node-based material editors that allow a graph-based workflow with native support for important concepts such as light position, levels of reflection and emission and metallicity, and a wide range of other math ...

  8. Knudsen number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knudsen_number

    The Knudsen number is a dimensionless number defined as =, where = mean free path [L 1], = representative physical length scale [L 1].. The representative length scale considered, , may correspond to various physical traits of a system, but most commonly relates to a gap length over which thermal transport or mass transport occurs through a gas phase.

  9. Supercontinuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercontinuum

    The laser's wavelength was 627 nm and they used it to pump a jet of ethylene glycol. They collimated the resulting continuum and measured the pulse duration at different wavelengths, noting that the red part of the continuum was at the front of the pulse and the blue at the rear. They reported very small chirps across the continuum. These ...
