<em>Remark 16.1.1 (Lagrangian and Eulerian Views).</em></strong>
In simulation methods that discretize and track materials directly based on <span class="katex"><span class="katex-html" aria-hidden="true"><span class="base"><span class="strut" style="height:0.8141em;"></span><span class="mord"><span class="mord">Ω</span><span class="msupsub"><span class="vlist-t"><span class="vlist-r"><span class="vlist" style="height:0.8141em;"><span style="top:-3.063em;margin-right:0.05em;"><span class="pstrut" style="height:2.7em;"></span><span class="sizing reset-size6 size3 mtight"><span class="mord mtight">0</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>, conservation of mass is inherently satisfied. For instance, in our Finite Element Method (FEM) simulator, <span class="katex"><span class="katex-html" aria-hidden="true"><span class="base"><span class="strut" style="height:0.8141em;"></span><span class="mord"><span class="mord">Ω</span><span class="msupsub"><span class="vlist-t"><span class="vlist-r"><span class="vlist" style="height:0.8141em;"><span style="top:-3.063em;margin-right:0.05em;"><span class="pstrut" style="height:2.7em;"></span><span class="sizing reset-size6 size3 mtight"><span class="mord mtight">0</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> is segmented into triangles, with the mass of each triangle remaining constant regardless of deformation throughout the simulation. This approach is known as the <strong>Lagrangian method</strong>. In contrast, <strong>Eulerian methods</strong> discretize and evolve physical quantities based on <span class="katex"><span class="katex-html" aria-hidden="true"><span class="base"><span class="strut" style="height:0.7936em;"></span><span class="mord"><span class="mord">Ω</span><span class="msupsub"><span class="vlist-t"><span class="vlist-r"><span class="vlist" style="height:0.7936em;"><span style="top:-3.063em;margin-right:0.05em;"><span class="pstrut" style="height:2.7em;"></span><span class="sizing reset-size6 size3 mtight"><span class="mord mathnormal mtight">t</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> and often need to specially deal with mass conservation.</p>
