The Art of Fluid Animation

This is a great book. Computational fluid dynamics is not easy and there are very few, if any, math or physics books that cover the material with real implementation in mind - the few I've come across are terribly boring. This is a different kind of book and is a nice supplement to the author's well-known paper on implementing fluid solvers.The missing star is for the choice of publisher and quality of the illustrations..... CRC Press is hardly coding hacker mainstream and is very expensive. Some of the illustrations/images are of very poor quality, as are some of the code listings.Still, a very good guide to getting started with fluid animation.

Very easily and understandable explained the fundamentals of fluid simulation.I love the stories behind the algorithms, it makes a book colorful and fun to read.Peter

This book is very useful for learning fluid animation for wide range of people - from high-school students to computer graphics researchers. The explanation is simple and direct, but yet it provides many deep insights that no other textbooks provide. It is amazing how this book avoids “boring math” to focus on “cool math”. Its witty writing style is intellectually amusing. Definitely I can recommend other people to read.

A fairly well written and gentle introduction into an otherwise difficult subject.
