3D Parallel Multigrid Methods for Real-Time Fluid Simulation

The multigrid method is widely used in fluid simulation because of its strong convergence. In addition to operating accuracy, operational efficiency is also an important factor to consider in order to enable real-time fluid simulation in computer graphics. For this problem, we compared the performance of the Algebraic Multigrid and the Geometric Multigrid in the V-Cycle and Full-Cycle schemes respectively, and analyze the convergence and speed of different methods. All the calculations are done on the parallel computing of GPU in this paper. Finally, we experiment with the 3D-grid for each scale, and give the exact experimental results.
