Experimenting with MSAFluid library

Jun 8, 2009 · 1 min read

I’ve been trying out the  MSAFluid library by Memo Akten for Processing.  Starting from the example program that comes with the library, I’m making a wind tunnel.  I’ve seperated adding force to the fluid, adding particles and adding dye so that I can add each where I want to.

Processing is fun because the sketching approach means that you see the results at each step, and this often provides weird / interesting visual results.  These images show my wind tunnel with a ‘fan’ emitting dye and then a set of dye emitters half way down the tunnel.  The particles are distributed through the fluid to show the flow.
