1 Introduction
Surface Tension is one of the many forces that shape the behavior of water and other fluids when they interact among themselves leading to an interface between them. In computer based simulations, especially in Computer Graphics field, this force is usually omited because it is considered that there is no significant effect when applying it. This is speccialy true when the object of the simulation is a large scale volume of fluid, in the opposite case, low scale fluid simulations show and need surface tension to achive realistic results.
Afer presenting the physical background and context needee for our simulation we will present our method to improve the quality of the simulation through the inclusion of Surface Tension.
In this work we apply Surface Tension force to a fluid solver. We describe how to modify the fluid solver to included this new force, and analize the numerical and visual results obteined from the experiment. We apply the new force is a coarse grid to improve the lack of quality due to the lack of detail in the datasctucture. Finally we present our results and conclusions.

Surface Tension simulations have been studied by several related fields (e.g. Physics, Chemestry, Scientific Computing, Computer Graphics, etc.) each one with its own emphasis and goals.
Physics wants 100% accurate results and a deeper understanding of the phenomena.
Scientific Computing is usually more concerned about the underneath algorithms and the numerical precision.
In the other hand Computer Graphics, as most of the time, is concerned about getting the closest result possible in the minimum time. For this regard most of the time it has to sacrifice some information. In fluids simulations it often is...

They just forgot to mention the other effects of fluids in nature. “The influence of the fluid on a body moving through it depends not only on the body’s velocity but also on the velocity of the fluid,” this is called relative velocity ( ). The relative velocity of a body in a fluid has an effect on the magnitude of the acting forces. For example, as a long distance runner is running into a head wind, the force of the fluid is very strong. If the runner is running with the help of a tail wind, the current’s force is reduced and may even be unnoticeable.
Before running the test, the depth of the overlaying water inside each core was adjusted to 12.7 cm (5 in). The grid was also adjusted such that the lower surface was 5.08 cm (2 in) above the sediment surface (the grid oscillated between 5.08 and 7.62 cm above the interface).

Introduction to Aerodynamics Aerodynamics is the study of the motion of fluids in the gas state and bodies in motion relative to the fluid/air. In other words, the study of aerodynamics is the study of fluid dynamics specifically relating to air or the gas state of matter. When an object travels through fluid/air there are two types of flow characteristics that happen, laminar and turbulent. Laminar flow is a smooth, steady flow over a smooth surface and it has little disturbance. Intuition would lead to the belief that this type of air flow would be desirable.

and so the friction slows less water down. When there is less water more of the water will be touching the tray causing more friction and so the water will be slower. Also in previous experiments we studied refraction. These experiments showed that when the incident waves went past the boundary between shallow and deep water at an angle they would change direction. This was because if the waves went from shallow to deep, they the part of the wave that hit the boundary between shallow and deep water at an angle first would speed up and be faster than the rest of the wave causing the wave to travel in an angle further from the normal line (90o to the boundary).

This chart shows the relationship between the fanning friction factor and the Reynolds number over a wide range of flow rates, from which the roughness parameter (e/D) for the piping system can be estimated.

On a more scientific note I am interested in mechanics of fluids. This interest was enforced last year when I had the opportunity to attend a lecture on fluid mechanics at P&G. At the conference I greatly expanded my knowledge regarding the physical aspect of fluids and their properties. In last year's AS course we have met a topic in this field. I will be applying ideas and knowledge gathered from last year for this investigation.
Surface Tension: The contractive tendency of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force. This is measured in Newton.
It is well known that in the past, Renaissance artists received their training in an atmosphere of artists and mathematicians studying and learning together (Emmer 2). People also suggest that the art of the future will depend on new technologies, computer graphics in particular (Emmer 1). There are many mathematical advantages to using computer graphics. They can help to visualize phenomena and to understand how to solve new problems (Emmer 2). “The use of ‘visual computers’ gives rise to new challenges for mathematicians. At the same time, computer graphics might in the future be the unifying language between art and science” (Emmer 3).
Currently present are non invasive computational modelling techniques, these are very informative and display results with high levels of accuracy but they do have some drawbacks. It requires a long and dreary approach of formulating math equations which must then be followed by substantial computational efforts. Besides that, model preparations also involve time consuming efforts. In order to minimize computational run-time, certain assumptions have to be made in order to simplify the governing equations and hence expose a certain uncertainty in the results generated.
