Your video games don't simulate fluid dynamics.

get off the drugs rooster

you don't want to destroy them... you can use them and make the aircraft go faster.

GREECE FOR EVER DUDE!!!!

I want that program.

You can't destroy it - - why would you do such a thing - - energy can't be destroyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[haeresy]

dam todays scientists have it backwards, don't try to destroy vortexes, use them to your advantage as they are centripetal based, energy that builds on it's self! Todays science is all based on explosive centrifugal force which destroys itself once reaching the outer confines.

Vortex centripetal technology is nature and explains many things from water to flowers. Humans took the wrong path in developing centrifugal and explosive energy but hey more money in that right?

Depends on how far you need to go with the fluid dynamics. Available technology can do quite a bit, but not calculate every single molecule in a real time CG scene.

Hello, nice videoo!!!

[mckseal]

heh, would love to see that...

im currently making a game with a research company... its physics based so if course ive looked into this. Yes, using Eulers physics we can get some fluid dynamics and, if we used the graphics card instead of gpu (think physx) we have managed to animated it realtime. But there are too many bugs for our small company... we probably need help from somebody.
