Fluids simulation particularly water courses such as riversare an important element to achieve realistic simulations in real-timeapplications like video games. This work presents a new approach calledSiViFlow that simulates watercourses in real-time. The algorithm isflexible enough to be used in any type of environment and allows a riverto be dynamically generated given any riverbed. The component thatmanages the flow is responsible for the water animation and allows theuse of various techniques to simulate visual features. As all theinformation is dynamically generated, SiViFlow also reacts to dynamicobjects that come in contact with the river, properly adjusting the courseof the flow. This work helps accelerate and improve the methods ofcreating realistic rivers so that they can be used in video games.
