[SIGGRAPH 2001] Visual Simulation of Smoke

Modern C++ 23 / CUDA Implementation with C ABI of the paper Visual simulation of smoke by Ronald Fedkiw et al.

1. Algorithm Pipeline

[TODO] On dev...

2. Build Instruction

Build C ABI library

• CMake 4.3.0 or higher
• Ninja build system (for CXX std module support)
• A C++23 compliant compiler (tested on Arch Linux with gcc/g++ 15.2.1, Windows with MSVC 17.14.29)
• NVIDIA CUDA 13.2 or higher

cmake -B build -S . -G Ninja
cmake --build build --parallel

Build with Vulkan visualizer

A built-in Vulkan visualizer is provided. To enable it, you need to install latest Vulkan SDK.

• Vulkan SDK 1.4 or higher.

cmake -B build -S . -G Ninja -DSTABLE_FLUIDS_BUILD_VULKAN_APP=ON
cmake --build build --parallel
