Non-photoshopped rainbows over the UC San Diego campus taken on February 8, 2013.
In other engineering-related rainbow news, figurer scientific discipline PhD alumnus Iman Sadeghi, who worked alongside our Oscar-winning figurer scientific discipline professor Henrik Wann Jensen is featured at the really showtime of a article inward the February 2013 effect of Spirit Magazine, seat out yesteryear Southwest Airlines.
What was the gist of that rainbow research, that nosotros foremost covered inward Dec 2011?
COMPUTER SIMULATIONS SHED LIGHT ON THE PHYSICS OF RAINBOWS
Computer scientists at UC San Diego, who develop out to copy all rainbows works life inward nature, injure upward answering questions close the physics of rainbows equally well. The scientists recreated a broad multifariousness of rainbows – top dog rainbows, secondary rainbows, redbows that cast at sunset as well as cloudbows that cast on foggy days – yesteryear using an improved method for simulating how lite interacts alongside H2O drops of diverse shapes as well as sizes. Their novel approach fifty-fifty yielded realistic simulations of difficult-to-replicate “twinned” rainbows that separate their top dog bow inward two.
UC San Diego alumnus Iman Sadeghi, who did the function patch a Ph.D. pupil at the Jacobs School of Engineering, his advisor, figurer scientific discipline professor Henrik Wann Jensen, as well as scientists from Spain, England as well as Switzerland, are develop to reveal their findings in ACM Transactions on Graphics in Dec of this year.
“This goes beyond figurer graphics,” Jensen said. “We forthwith stimulate got an almost consummate moving painting of how rainbows form.”
Jensen is no stranger to advances inward figurer graphics. He earned an Academy Award inward 2004 for inquiry that brought life-like peel to animated characters. He has worked on a issue of Hollywood blockbusters, including James Cameron’s “Avatar.” Read the residual of the floor here.
Sadeghi is no stranger to figurer graphics. Remember this butterfly simulation he did WAY dorsum inward 2007?
