MAC
Marker and Cell is used to simulate liquids using particles. Rather than using the particles in the normal way, MAC uses one particle per cell the fluid occupies.

Particles have no mass when used in this way, and they are used as markers to show which grid regions contain fluid after the calculations have been done.
