Abstract
We evaluate surface tension models in particle-based fluid simulation systems using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) with a benchmark test. Our benchmark consists of three experiments and a set of analysis methods that are useful for the comparison of surface tension models. Although visual quality is of major interest and is considered as well, we suggest quantification methods for the properties of these models. The goal is to identify if a certain model is suitable for a given scenario and to be able to control the results in the creation of animations. We apply the proposed evaluation methods to three existing surface tension models in combination with different SPH techniques (WCSPH, PCISPH, and IISPH) and perform systematic tests to show the influence of different settings and parameter choices. The surface tension models are chosen from different classes: a pure inter-particle force model, a model based on surface curvature, and a model using a combination of these. Additionally, we present a simple modification to improve the quality of inter-particle force models.
