介绍Eulerian和Lagrangian

物理模拟有两种方式——Eulerian grids & Lagrangian particles.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUaD-GMARrA 这个youtube视频也很不错！超级安利！！！从Fluid Flow开始引入，简单介绍了Lagrangian vs. Eulerian (In Simple Terms))

下面的定义摘自上面的video😊

1. Lagrangian：track an object to determine its properties.
2. Eulerian: It's just observing fluid properties as a function of time and space.

形象理解如下图手绘所示意：

两者方法区别

• Eulerian：只track网格格点的状态-->会被初始化的网格所限定，所以一些奇怪的，不规则的形状就很难被规整的网格所做到（要用大量的计算，把网格变得很小很小，才能去贴近物体的边界去计算）

• Lagrangian：初始化是初始化不同数量的粒子-->可以很容易track物体边界

1. The Lagrangian view follows an individual fluid parcel as it moves through space and time. The Eulerian view focuses on specific locations in the space through which fluid flows.
2. In Lagrangian specifications, the coordinates move with the fluid parcels so it is useful for following trajectories, deformation, and rotations. Eulerian coordinates are fixed in space so better for analyzing flows, velocities, accelerations.

2. Material Point Method (MPM)

MPM是一种混合的(Hybrid)，结合Eulerian和Lagrangian的方法。
