  • I appreciate the coloration, that really helps. Do you think you could run the same test with different colors (i.e. one with periodic luminosity instead of hue, etc.) and different spacing?

    I'm really interested in how this works, but I have a long way to go before I can approach this sort of study. I only just graduated high school this past year. When I get back to America, I'll be going to college as a physics major.

  • It is possible to change the spacing based on the placement of the initial points of streaklines, streamlines, or pathlines. In terms of color, I'm not sure what "periodic luminosity" would look like, but since the code is open source, it can be implemented by the user.

    Good luck on your study of physics. If you specialize in numerical modeling, you can do your own simulations.

  • does it have a real life application ?

  • I imagined this could be used for calculating the pressures/forces on the supports of a bridge in the water. But since this is categorized as a shallow water simulation, it may be more appropriate for finding the flowfield around these supports, and hence, the currents a boat would encounter. I'm more of a basic

    researcher though, so I'm not really sure.

  • as far as i understand this is your own code, very good job.

  • Thanks. There are a lot of other impressive codes out there, though I think mine has a few advantages the others lack.

  • I am doing my under graduate project on topic :" Interference effects of aerodynamic loads in cluster of different shape buildings". can any one suggest me simulations where flow over 3 and more bodies shown.

  • Thanks. I invite you to run the simulations yourself.

  • cool, CFD man!
