‘Frozen’ Animation Code Helped Engineers Solve a 62-Year-Old Russian Cold Case

The Dyatlov Pass incident left nine Russian hikers dead in 1959. Now thanks to “Frozen,” the mystery has been solved.
The Dyatlov Pass incident has inspired countless theories over the last 62 years regarding the deaths of nine Russian hikers who set out on a 200-mile trek through Russia’s Ural Mountains in the winter of 1959. According to National Geographic (citing the journal Communications Earth and Environment), engineers recently relied on animation codes that Disney used on its Oscar-winning blockbuster “Frozen” to prove a longstanding theory that an avalanche resulted in the deaths of the nine hikers. While researchers concluded in 2019 that an avalanche killed the hikers, the Dyatlov Pass incident continued to provoke theories.

Huh, how ‘bout that? Frozen was good for something after all.

hmm… a more plausible scenario than a yeti or an alien at least..

“engineers recently relied on animation codes that Disney used on its Oscar-winning blockbuster “Frozen” to prove a longstanding theory that an avalanche resulted in the deaths of the nine hikers.”

It may be a plausible scenario, but animation software “proving” it?

I think not.

Hold on, Rev, D

I have been in absolute awe of how animation software handles fluid dynamics.

The fluid dynamics codes used by animators for waves in movies such as Sinbad, Surf’s up, etc. have been vastly superior to the fluid dynamics codes that I’m used to for scientific and engineering fluid dynamics. I’d used to codes such as ANSYS and STAR.

In addition, the animators tool referred to as “voxel effects” is also superior to anything I know among engineering and scientific software for gas flows.
