WebGL Fluid Simulation

WebGL is a JavaScript API for rendering interactive 3D graphics in web browsers without the use of plug-ins. It is based on the OpenGL ES 2.0 specification, and is designed to be compatible with the capabilities of modern graphics hardware.

One way to create a fluid simulation using WebGL is to use a particle-based method, where the fluid is represented as a set of particles that interact with each other and with the boundaries of the container. These particles can be moved and accelerated based on various physical forces, such as gravity, viscosity, and surface tension.

There are several open-source libraries available that can help with the implementation of a fluid simulation in WebGL, such as SPH fluid simulator and glsl-fluid. These libraries provide a set of functions and shaders that can be used to simulate the behavior of a fluid and render the resulting motion and deformations using WebGL.

It is also possible to create a fluid simulation using other techniques, such as grid-based methods or finite element methods, but these approaches may be more computationally intensive and may require more advanced graphics hardware.
