4.  “Turbulence is an irregular motion which in general makes its appearance in fluids, gaseous or liquid” ▪ Taylor and von Kármán 1937  Model them ?

6.  Turbulent fluids are “very hard to predict” ▪ Taylor and von Kármán 1937  Very large degree of freedom  Reynolds number (Re) ▪ Kitchen faucet: Re = 10000  Intrinsic fluctuation  Stochastic  Intermittent

7.  Pure direct numerical simulation  Not practical for high Re number  Limited computational resources  Wind tunnel used in real experiments  Simulation + Synthetic noise  U + u’

9.  Define energy transport between octaves of noise fields following Kolmogorov 1941 theory (K41): energy cascade  Linear model ▪ Schechter et al. 08  Advection-reaction-diffusion PDE ▪ Narain et al. 08  Locally assembled wavelets ▪ Kim et al. 08  Decay of particles ▪ Pfaff et al. 09

12.  Noise synthesis  Direct Fourier domain generation  Following prescribed energy spectrum  Noise fields as random forces inside a turbulence integration module  Adding forces for animation control

13.  Divergence free in Fourier domain

14.  Energy spectrum defines parameter  Gaussian control of spectrum Large variation

15.  Multiple scale field Kolmogorov Style An arbitrary Choice

16.  Noise fields as forces so that they are  A small group of force fields is enough  Pre-computed  Randomly selected  Reusable  Introduced turbulence  Continuous energy injection  Model unresolved small-scale effects  Compensate loss in numerical computing

17.  Enabling a feedback control in the integration  Natural coupling  Control flexibility  Large q: turbulent results close to U  Small q: significant turbulence from U

19.  Force integration makes it easy  What: different scales and spectra  How: conditions from physical/artificial rules  Where: local, critical, interested regions  When: intermittency

20.  Determine force magnitude  Velocity condition  Strain rate  Distance to obstacles  Vorticity  Scalar density

21.  Alternations in time between nearly non- turbulent and chaotic behavior  Extremely hard by direct simulation  We use temporal control in forcing integration  With randomly varied time intervals

24.  Pros  Turbulence to coarse, existing, ongoing simulation  Natural integration with random forcing  No extra boundary handling  Adaptive, conditional turbulence  Use precomputed, reusable synthetic noise  Generally independent of solvers  Handful control for animators

25.  Cons.  Not physically exact in spectrum control ▪ Local force integration ▪ Gaussian function in noise scales  Forced integration ▪ Extra computing load ▪ Artificially provided parameters may not always appropriate

26.  More integration conditions  More noise synthesis schemes  Local random force generation
