I didn't intend to create this at all, but it turned out to be too interesting. I'm a sci fi artist by profession, but as a hobby I'm researching various speculative concepts like acoustic flying saucers and so on, and based on my experiments in fluid dynamics, I wanted to do CFD to test my hypothesis of vortex formation.
It was planned as a partial simulation simulating Brownian motion, All particles obey the same rules: they are attracted by Newtonian gravity, repel each other at short distances, and have active spin, transferring momentum to each other tangentially.
This interactive simulation visualizes how incredibly complex structures emerge from simple local interactions between millions of identical particles. Using only Newtonian attraction, short-range elastic repulsion, … Universum Space Simulator Read More »
