The main objective of in fluid animation in Computer Graphics is to reproduce plausible fluid behaviour. Simulating fluids is a computationally expensive task, and interactive computer applications largely simplify fluid behaviour at the cost of accuracy or limited flexibility; however newer computer applications require both high levels of realism and efficient computations. This motivates the research methods that achieve efficient fluid simulation with high accuracy in real-time. One research direction is the use of statistical analysis techniques for synthesizing fluid motion by forming parameterized database of fluid examples. The input data and parameterized fluid behaviour would then allow efficient generation of realistic fluid flows. The ability to reproduce fluid behaviour efficiently, based on heavy pre-processing step, will lead to the advancement of the field and various surrounding fields. We aim to contribute to the development of these other areas that make use of the simulation of fluids, focusing on two applications; art in virtual reality and medical application among many potential applications such as aeronautical engineering, mechanical engineering, education, and entertainment industry.
