Stable fluids Python with free surface and polygonal convex boundary

[mhechthz]

I really like your videos on fluid flow simulation.

I wonder if the stable_fluids_python_simple.py code could be changed to

a) have a free surface b) have a non squared but polygonal, i.e. piecewise linear convex boundary, e.g. an hexagon

I would then fill the polygon much less than 100%. This would give the possibility to have a realistic liquid simulation for games, e.g. to simulate waves, and within a more irregular (realistic) domain than a rectangle.

Would this be possible with the proposed approach?

Hi,

probably something like this is possible, but from my experience it is better to use Lagrangian fluid simulation techniques (like SPH) to simulate free-surface flows. Another advantage is that SPH also works with arbitrary domains and obstacles.

Hope that helps 😊
