Storm surges or collapsing dams—authentic simulations of water flows are not only important for special effects in disaster movies, but could also help to protect coastal regions. For more realistic simulations of fluid motions, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a new method that also takes into account the interaction with air. The approach is so efficient that calculations of complex wave motions can even be carried out with standard computers.
