Navier-Stokes on Display

The Navier-Stokes equation is a partial differential equation that describes the motion of a viscous fluid that conserves momentum, mass, and energy.

I have been fascinated by acrylic pours for a while. However, I haven't tried doing them because they can be messy. With this simulation of fluid flow that runs in a browser, I can create such images without the mess :).

 

You can find the web site that creates these beautiful images here:

paveldogreat.github.io/WebGL-Fluid-Simulation/

Your browser needs to support WebGL to generate these images.

 

The image presented here has been touched up slightly in Photoshop (made larger and a bit more vibrant), but this is basically what you get on that web site above.
