So much work.... so little time. The new SPD web presence is still currently being constructed. Thanks for your patience. Tons of new motion graphics and interface design to add this year..... stay tuned to see more power because its about time to drop some serious science on the globe. SPD is currently seeking new clients... send your project proposal today! Make Art, Not War! Peace Now! |

The University of Utah has created an alliance with the DOE Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) program to form the Center for the Simulation of Accidental Fires and Explosions (C-SAFE). It focuses specifically on providing state-of-the-art, science-based tools for the numerical simulation of accidental fires and explosions, especially within the context of handling and storage of highly flammable materials. This promotional commercial was created to introduce the C-SAFE concepts, research, and visualization to non-technical audiences through a theme that builds tension and anticipation. |

Accurately rendering fires is a challenging problem due to the various subtle ways in which the electromagnetic waves interact with this complex participating medium. This research presents a new method for physically-based rendering of flames from detailed simulations of flame dynamics which account for their unique characteristics. These models are built on fundamental molecular physics to compute the spectrally dependent absorption, emission and scattering properties of the various chemical compounds found in the fire. This video was directed by Vincent Pegoraro to accompany a paper co-authored with Steven G. Parker for submission to the Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena (2006). |
