Widget Wednesdays #5

Sometimes I just wonder about stuff. And sometimes the way I work on the answer is by writing a computer program.

In this case I was curious about the relationship between how fast particles move around in a fluid, and how far each particle really travels. With all of those particles bouncing around like crazy, every particle must quickly end up far away from where it started, right?

The actual answer surprised me. You can look at my little simulation here.

  1. Very cool. With a little interactivity (particle popper), randomness (particle regeneration), parameterization (speed of simulation, size of particle etc), goal (an exit for the particle) this could be an addicting or maddening (or both) game.
