Fluid simulation guides
Short guides on fluid simulation: what it is, how a WebGL solver moves dye each frame, what every dock control changes, and how a browser tool compares with CFD software and Blender. Most guides link back to the live simulation when a live example helps.
Basics
What is fluid simulation? covers the core idea, a short history, the two main solver methods, and common uses from film VFX to engineering analysis.
How WebGL fluid simulation works walks through the frame loop: advection, vorticity confinement, and pressure projection, without lab jargon or equations.
Practice
Fluid simulation controls maps every dock control, from presets and quality down to pressure, swirl, and fade speed, to exactly what changes on the canvas.
Compare
CFD vs browser fluid simulation separates engineering grade computational fluid dynamics from real-time play, with a side by side comparison.
Blender fluid simulation vs browser covers offline 3D workflows, including Blender's Mantaflow system, against instant WebGL.
Fluid simulation for computer graphics places real-time dye sims in a wider VFX and game context, from look development to final render.
Questions
Start with what is fluid simulation, then paint on the live canvas to see the idea firsthand.
No. They explain the real-time browser model and mark where it differs from engineering CFD software.
They cover the general ideas behind fluid simulation, then connect each idea to the controls and modes on Fluidsimulation.net.
