TurbuSyn®: System for Designing Turbulent Gaseous Flow

Turbulence Synthesizer (TurbuSyn®) enables the interactive design of a turbulent gas motion and provides an intermediate feedback. Quasi-real time rates of several pictures per second can be calculated. Using a small and intuitive parameter set, users can design their "personal" gas turbulence (for example, moving clouds of fog, rising smoke, or dust). Users can see the effect of a parameter variation on the turbulence appearance and adjust the parameter accordingly.

Users of TurbuSyn are primarily computer animators and designers. Aside from computer animation for films, videos, logos, commercials, etc., possible application areas also include simulation and training systems.
