XNS Fluid Flow Simulation
Incompressible Navier-Stokes Partial Differential
Equations
3

• The Navier Stokes are applied at a finite number
  of nodes. The values at each nodes determine the
  values within each element.

4
How do I use that?
I draw with it

6

• The obvious simulation is to flow fluid around
  the Chevelle and guitar, creating wakes of
  flaming fluid around the car

7
Create a mesh domain the shape of the car or
guitar and use the irregularity of the domain,
and changing velocities to create turbulence
8

9

• Create a mesh shape within the other mesh shape

Heavy Metal and the Seventies

• Incorporate Sociological themes from the
  seventies.
• REBELLION!!!
• Heavy Metal Music
• Muscle Cars.

Led Zeppelin Trampled Under Foot

• Greasy slicked down body, groovy leather trim I
  like the way you hold the road, mama, it ain't no
  sin Trouble-free transmission, helps your oil's
  flow Mama, let me pump your gas, mama, let me do
  it all Dig that heavy metal underneath your
  hood Baby, I could work all night, believe I've
  got the perfect tools A model built for
  comfort, really built with style Specialist
  tradition, mama, let me feast my eyes

• Factory air-conditioned, heat begins to rise
  Guaranteed to run for hours, mama it's a perfect
  size Groovin' on the freeway, gauge is on the
  red Gun down on my gasoline, I believe I'm gonna
  crack a head. Come to me for service every
  hundred miles Baby, let me check your points,
  fix your overdrive Fully automatic, comes in
  any size Makes me wonder what I did, before we
  synchronized Feather-light suspension, coils
  just couldn't hold I'm so glad I took a look
  inside your showroom doors

Use Flash to Put it All together

• Learn to manipulate flash to create 3D effects
  with software that is intended for simple 2D
  projects.
• Combine the results of my fluid flow simulation
  outputs into Flash along with the supporting cast
  of the movie.

Outline

• Tapia aproaches me about idea
• Treat project as art, I treat the media as a
  collection of found materials
• Intended audience are the car show enthusiasts
• The found materials just happen to be a collage
  of 70s photos, a 1970 Chevelle, and the Navier
  Stoke partial differential equations.
• Found equations and solver in the ME dept. (tell
  about what I used to do with the software) but
  became more interested with what it could do as
  far as creating visual effects and the abstract
  sense it creates while maintaining a sense of
  realism
• I map contour drawings into boundary equations
  along with physical constraints that I thought
  would yield aesthetic results.
• I also became interested in the effect that the
  finite element mesh configuration had on
  smoothness, and visual appeal.
• Talk about some of the artistic choices that I
  made
• The song
• The photos, sequence and speed
• The effects on photographing the car, rotations,
  etc.
• Mention outreach appeal that it has on youth,
  especially those that are underrepresented in the
  computational fields.
