Jos Stam describes visually rich techniques for creating fluid-like animations that do not require advanced physics or mathematical skills, explaining how to create water, smoke, fire, and explosions through computer code in a fun manner. The concepts that drive fluid animation and the historical background of the computation of fluids are presented together with research areas that include stable fluid simulation, flows on surfaces, and control of flows.
