Fluid Simulation

2D Eulerian fluid simulation is a project I created for CSCI 5611 - Animation and Planning in Games. I’m very interested in learning how fluid flows in a medium and therefore decided to implement a simulation.

Media

2D Fluid Simulation

Features

• 200x200 grid benchmarking at 30+ FPS
• User can use mouse to interact with the fluid
• The simulation can be paused with ‘v’ button for various effects (like in my video)
• Fluid will dissolve over time to avoid explosion

References

• Navier-Stokes equations
• Jos Stam’s Real-Time Fluid Dynamics for Games
  • My implementation relies heavily on Stam’s implementation in his paper.

Source Code

• I implemented my fluid simulation in Processing 3, the source code can be found here
