NiagaraFluid

Fluid simulation(SPH) and water rendering in Unreal Engine 5 Niagara(GPU simulation stage)

Demo : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEXcR8ROdnM

Note : This repository is not associated with "Niagara Fluids"(Epic's official plugin). This is another implementation and uses SPH.

Computational Order : In this implementation, the computational order is O(N^2) because we are using a full search to compute the interaction. If we optimize the nearest neighbor search, this could be reduced to O(NlogN).
