BeerHeater

Simulation of heating beer (physically based!) and other less interesting test setups.

Project about simulating air flow and heat distribution for course Animation and Simulation at University of Koblenz in summer terms 2015. Written by Nils Höhner and Raphael Menges in C++ and modern OpenGL. Simulation is implemented as highly parallel compute shader execution. The process is physically based but (by far) not correct.

Features

  • Five unqiue test setups
  • Sensors for measuring temperature
  • Fans for producing air flow
  • GPU accelerated physically based simulation
  • High-quality raycasting volume rendering
  • Very minimal user interface for distraction free user experience

HowTo

Clone the repository to your local machine. Dependencies are included. Build project for the IDE of your choice with CMake. Tested with Visual Studio 2015 and GCC under Ubuntu 16.04.

TODO

  • Fans are not rendered
  • Make simulation frame time independend
