A one or two sentence summary of the paper This paper describes a method for fluid simulation that doesn't require very small time steps to remain stable, at the cost of some accuracy A one or two sentence description of the problem the paper is trying to solve. How to keep fluids stable when their timesteps aren't proportional to the distance between points (that is, they are larger than what's guaranteed to be stable) A one of two sentence description of the method used to solve the problem. Their method extended a normal simulation by, rather than simply generating new densities and velocities by simple algebra, following the current velocity backwards in time to find the simulation point the point under investigation came from. A list of short (approx one sentence) descriptions of the key ideas of the paper. Mathematically generating new densities and velocities based on the current densities, velocities, and forces at every point led to unstable fluids when time steps were large, due to numerical error accumulation between simulation steps. To counter this, this paper introduced a way of using only values that already existed in the simulation, ensuring that the total volume of the fluid is at least close to what it was at the last time step. Any questions that the paper raises for you. This might be some flaw that they do not address, something that is unclear, some piece of background knowledge that you don't have that would help you understand the paper, ... My question was whether the step where they removed divergence from the field already existed before this paper, but Yu-Chi answered that for me today (it did).
