We propose a height-field-based real-time simulation method for sand and water mixtures. Inspired by the shallow-water assumption, our approach extends the governing equations to handle two-phase flows of sand and water using height fields. Our depth-integrated governing equations can model the elastoplastic behavior of sand, as well as sand-water-mixing phenomena such as friction, diffusion, saturation, and momentum exchange. We further propose an operator-splitting time integrator that is both GPU-friendly and stable under moderate time step sizes. We have evaluated our method on a set of benchmark scenarios involving large bodies of heterogeneous materials, where our GPU-based algorithm runs at real-time frame rates. Our method achieves a desirable trade-off between fidelity and performance, bringing an unprecedentedly immersive experience for real-time applications.
