An outstanding fluid simulation researcher

I am utterly impressed by Ryoichi Ando.
http://vacation.aid.design.kyushu-u.ac.jp/~and/

Currently a third year PhD student and has already produced some outstanding work. He is the guy behind smoke3d (code.google.com/p/smoke3d), 2dsmoke and other open source fluid code out there.

He invented flip3d, sheet preserving fluids (http://vacation.aid.design.kyushu-u.ac.jp/~and/sheetflip/index.html ) as well as highly adaptive liquid simulation recently published at SIGGRAPH 2013 (http://pub.ist.ac.at/group_wojtan/projects/2013_Ando_HALSoTM/index.html)

Whats realy good about him is that he has kept all of his work open sourced with a permissive BSD license. Really awesome work.

A free online book on fundamentals of ray tracing

Although this book does not cover acceleration structures, it does give a fair amount of detail for beginners. Thought of putting a blog post in for this invaluable free resource. Here are the table of contents at a glance
