The MIT Technology Review is featuring a very interesting article on advances in fluid dynamics by a professor at Caltech. Mathieu Desbrun has developed new equations that describe more accurately (than current visual effects tools) how a liquid should move within a given space.

The advances don’t work faster than today’s tech, but more accurately and realistically, and have the potential to save time and expense in animation and VFX post production. There are a few very interesting video examples attached to the article.
