Fluid Simulation
Interactive WebGL fluid dynamics you can play with using your mouse or touch.
About Fluid Simulation
Swipe, click, or drag across the canvas and watch bursts of color ripple, swirl, and curl in real time. Fluid Simulation uses WebGL to model the way liquids move — pressure, viscosity, dye diffusion — so every gesture you make pushes the fluid in physically plausible ways. Poke a slow spiral and it fans out into tendrils. Drag fast and the wake stretches into long ribbons of color.
There's no goal, no score, no timer. It's the kind of interactive experience you open when you need a moment to decompress, or when you just want to see something beautiful happen under your fingertips. If you enjoy this, Ripple Tank explores similar wave physics with a more structured, science-focused lens.
Works best on a desktop with a mouse — multi-point dragging lets you create competing vortices simultaneously, which is where things get genuinely interesting.
How to use
This is a real-time fluid physics simulation that responds to your interactions. Watch colorful, flowing liquid react to your touch and movement. • Click and drag your mouse across the screen to disturb the fluid and create swirling patterns • On touch devices, tap and drag with your finger to interact with the simulation • Multiple simultaneous touches are supported - use several fingers for complex effects • The fluid will continue flowing and evolving even when you're not interacting • Look for a settings panel (typically in the top-right corner) to adjust simulation parameters like: - Color schemes and visual effects - Fluid density and viscosity - Simulation speed and quality - Particle count and behavior The goal is simply to experiment and enjoy the mesmerizing fluid dynamics. Try different gestures like quick swipes, slow drags, circular motions, or rapid tapping to see how the virtual liquid responds. The simulation runs continuously, so you can sit back and watch the fluid settle into natural flowing patterns.
