Coding Adventure: Simulating Fluids

Embark on a coding adventure to simulate fluid dynamics using particle-based methods. Learn how to create a realistic water simulation by implementing gravity, collisions, smoothed particles, and density calculations. Explore advanced concepts like interpolation equations, gradient calculations, and pressure forces. Dive into optimization techniques for particle lookups and spatial grid implementation. Discover how to add interactive elements with mouse force and enhance realism through artificial viscosity. Tackle common challenges such as pressure problems and bugs, and explore parallel sorting for improved performance. Conclude the journey by experimenting with various tests and expanding the simulation into the third dimension.
